Former Virginia football star Heath Miller reflects on his time with the Pittsburgh Steelers and retirement

Last weekend, Virginia football alumni Heath Miller returned to his old NFL stomping ground - Heinz Field - to participate in a roast of former teammate Bret Keisel at the Mel Blount Celebrity Roast. Miller, an 11-year veteran of the league, retired from the Steelers in 2015 as the all-time best Pittsburgh tight end in receptions (592), receiving yards (6,569) and receiving touchdowns (45). He also helped the Steelers claim two Super Bowl Championships and was named a Pro-Bowler twice in his stellar career.

Not too shabby.

Although Miller doesn’t return to Pittsburgh often, he has fond memories of his time and the people that made his experience one to cherish.
