Anthony Miller Finds Himself In a ‘Humbling’ Experience Trying To Make The Steelers

Coming out of the University of Memphis in 2018 as a highly-touted receiver from the high-flying Tigers’ offensive attack, the future appeared rather bright for wide receiver Anthony Miller, who was the 51st overall pick (second round) in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Chicago Bears.

What followed was a seven-touchdown rookie season, and then two seasons of 49 and 52 catches as he emerged as a legitimate go-to receiver in the Windy City. Then came a shocking trade to the Houston Texans, which started a swift decline in Miller’s career as the former second-round pick played in just two games with Houston, caught five passes for 23 yards and a score, and then was subsequently released.
