The essence of Heath Miller could be seen in an unremarkable scene Wednesday in the Steelers' locker room.
Miller had been trying to downplay something receiver Hines Ward said about his work ethic, though the veteran tight end conceded he usually arrives at Steelers headquarters at 6:30 a.m.
A couple of minutes later, Miller called a reporter back over. By the time he got to the weight room that morning, Miller said, outside linebacker James Harrison already was drenched in sweat.
It was Miller's way of deflecting attention, and he went out of his way to do it.
Miller may be averse to calling attention to himself, but the Steelers know better when it comes to one of the best tight ends in franchise history.

No, Ward was complimenting Miller, saying he had a great work ethic. Miller tried downplaying it, saying it's Harrison who has a great work ethic. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

Yep. Guys like Gates and Gonzalez, who are nothing more than big receivers, get all the attention. But Miller is a true, old-school tight end. And he's definitely underrated. _________________ If you're going to be a smart ass, you'd better be smart. Otherwise, you're just an ass. | |

I think he should go the OchoStinko route and change his last name to "Dangerfield".  _________________ -"I stand corrected...
