Earl Heath Miller, Jr. (born October 22, 1982 in Richlands, Virginia) is an American football tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers of the NFL. He was selected with the 30th overall pick of the 2005 NFL Draft out of the University of Virginia. Some consider him to be the greatest tight end in Atlantic Coast Conference history. Heath attended Honaker High School in Honaker, Virginia.

College career

Nicknamed “Big Money” for his ability to gain first downs and touchdowns, Heath Miller was a three-year starter at tight end (TE) for the University of Virginia. He led ACC TEs in receiving every year of his career (2002-2004), and he was the 2004 recipient of the John Mackey Award, presented annually by the Nassau County Sports Commission to the top tight end of the season.

In his freshman season, Heath set an ACC record for freshmen TEs with 9 touchdown receptions in a season. He followed that up with a sophomore campaign that saw him set ACC TE records for receptions (70) and yards (835) in a season. In his junior season, Heath was awarded the John Mackey Award and was only the second player in Virginia history to be a unanimous All American.

Heath concluded his career holding ACC records for most career receptions (144), yards (1703) and touchdowns (20) by a tight end. In Virginia history, these totals place Heath 2nd in receptions, 7th in yards, and 4th in touchdown receptions, regardless of position. He also shares the school record for most 100-yard games by a TE (3), and he caught at least one pass in 32 of his final 33 games.

NFL career

In his rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Heath Miller finished with 459 yards and 6 touchdowns receiving. He is also the second John Mackey Award recipient to win a Superbowl. (The other is Daniel Graham of the New England Patriots.)
