There was reason to celebrate in Charlottesville for the Pittsburgh Steelers, who won the Super Bowl. Former UVA star and Steeler tight end Heath Miller (No. 83) excelled, says USA Today, and football master John Madden had only kind words for Miller’s blocking in yesterday’s 27-23 win against the Arizona Cardinals.
In last night’s game, Miller had 5 receptions for 57 yards. Fellow former Cavalier James Farrior (No. 51) started at linebacker for the Steelers and led the team with six tackles.
Despite the tough guy image, Miller likes to take long walks with his dogs Charlie and Maria.
"I like to take them hiking, just to be outside," he told USA Today. "My wife (Katie) says I always tend to want to do something. It’s hard for me to sit around."
In 2004, Miller was the first ACC player to win the Mackey Award as the nation’s best tight end while at UVA.
Heath Miller was lauded by John Madden for his blocking. The Steelers won against Arizona 27-23.
