The Pittsburgh Steelers added another wide receiver on May 8. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on X (formerly Twitter) that the Steelers signed veteran Scotty Miller to a 1-year contract.
Miller previously played in Arthur Smith’s offense with the Atlanta Falcons.
“Former Falcons free-agent wide receiver Scotty Miller is reuniting with Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith,” wrote Schefter.
Signing Miller is not the blockbuster wide receiver acquisition Steelers fans have been waiting for since the draft. But Miller’s experience in Smith’s offense could be key for Pittsburgh’s young receiving corps.
Miller began his career as an undrafted free agent with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2019. He posted 33 receptions, 501 receiving yards and 3 touchdowns with the Buccaneers in 2020, helping the team win the Super Bowl.
During the 2020-21 postseason run, Miller had 4 catches for 80 yards and a touchdown in the NFC championship game.
Over four seasons in Tampa Bay, Miller posted 74 receptions, 924 receiving yards and 4 touchdowns. Last season with the Falcons, Miller caught 11 passes for 161 yards. He also had 2 touchdowns.
Miller is the third veteran receiver the Steelers have added on a 1-year contract this offseason. Pittsburgh also drafted Michigan’s Roman Wilson during the third round of the 2024 NFL draft.
Miller will likely compete for a depth receiver role with the Steelers. The 26-year-old also has a little experience returning kickoffs and punts.
