Throwback Thursday: Steelers Drafted TE Heath Miller 10 Years Ago Today

Thirty years ago today, Coca-Cola introduced New Coke and while that didn’t work out so good, what the Pittsburgh Steelers introduced to their fans 10 years ago did.

On April 23, 2005, the Steelers drafted tight end Heath Miller out of Virginia with the 30th overall pick in the first round of the 2005 NFL Draft and at age 32, he still remains one of league’s best at his position.

Miller, who started 39 straight games at tight end while at Virginia, caught 144 passes for 1,703 yards and 20 touchdowns during his college career.
