For the first time since 2004, the Pittsburgh Steelers started a training camp Friday without tight end Heath Miller, who decided to retire during the offseason. While Miller might not have been present at Saint Vincent College in Latrobe on Friday, he sure was talked about quite a bit just the same. Even Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger paid tribute to his longtime tight end on Friday by wearing his No. 83 jersey during practice.
With Miller retired and his longtime backup Matt Spaeth recently being released, the Steelers are hoping a few young tight ends can step up in their absence.
