Yardbarker: Heath Miller

KC made big plays, Steelers didn’t.

Sun, 22 Nov 2009 16:42:49 -0500

Can’t be too upset about the loss today. Football is all about big plays and key moments. KC made them, PIT didnt. 1. Steelers give up KR TD to start the game. You almost deserve to lose the game right then and there. 2. Heath Miller drops an easy catch at the Kansas City 38 yard line. [...]

DEKKER'S ARREST LETS MEDIA SAY, "STEELER ARRESTED"

Sun, 25 Jan 2009 23:25:00 -0500

Go to any number of websites today and you'll see a story with a title along the lines of "Steeler Arrested". After your heart skips several beats and you wonder who it was, you then see that it was tight end Jon Dekker, who was about as close to getting into game action this year as you or I. Honestly, the only reason I even knew of Dekker's existence was from the Steeler charity basketball game I attended in 2008. In case you've forgotten what he looks like (which I...

A story worth passing on. Heath Miller: from one tight end to another...

Fri, 12 Dec 2008 23:20:55 -0500

Here's a story that I found too awesome to keep to myself. Its the kind of story that everybody should hear, but ends up getting no press. Unless ESPN is doing its Make-a-wish series, they don't have time for stuff like this.

Larry Hedden is a redshirt Junior Tight End for Furman's football team. In the purple and white scrimmage to kick off the football season he separated his shoulder and missed the first couple games of the season. Then in early October he lost his father to cancer. About a month later, in a game against Georgia Southern, he completely blew out his knee. Torn ACL, LCL, and PCL. On the sidelines they couldn't get his kneecap to stay in place. He had surgery and as far as I know his recovery is going smoothly. Unfortunately, the injury ended his football career.

We had practice today a 3:30 and had weight lifting immediately after. At one point in between sets, our strength coach told a few of us about a package Larry recently received in the mail. It was from Heath Miller, the tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers. The package contained an autographed football and some other odds and ends. There was a note that said something like "From one tight end to another....Good luck recovering". I thought this was a really awesome gesture from Heath Miller. He's quickly become my favorite NFL tight end. Its never hard for me to cheer for someone that takes the time to do something like that. Like I said, I couldn't resist sharing this story. Larry and his family have had a rough year and are in my prayers and I encourage you to do the same.

Can We Never See This Again? Please?

Of all the terrible gameplans Bruce Arians has put together in his tenure as offensive coordinator, yesterday's had to be the most scattered and rudderless. Granted, the offense was helped out by fumbles from Heath Miller and Roethlisberger on a sneak, but the playcalling on a whole was ...
