When Steelers’ fans think of #83, they think Heath Miller. When they see #83 this year, they’ll have to think of someone else. Connor Heyward. That’s the number Heyward is at least beginning his NFL career with. And he knows all too well how important that jersey is.
Speaking with reporters Friday, Heyward was asked about the jersey selection.
“Heath Miller,” he said when asked what he knows about #83. “I didn’t pick my number, for people wondering. He’s a legend here. I wouldn’t be surprised if his jersey is retired. He’s a really good player and really good person in the community.
