Pittsburgh Steelers release WR Scotty Miller

The Pittsburgh Steelers announced on their website on Thursday evening that they have officially released wideout Scotty Miller. He signed a one-year contract with the team during the offseason. He has appeared in 13 games with the Steelers this year, starting one. Miller had five catches for 69 yards. During six NFL seasons, he’s played in 80 games, hauling in 90 catches for 1,154 receiving yards.

In Miller’s one season with the Falcons, he caught 11 passes for 161 yards and two touchdowns in a reserve role. He joined the Falcons in March of 2023 after spending four seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Miller was selected by the Buccaneers in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft. His best season with the franchise was in 2020 when he caught 33 passes for 501 yards and three touchdowns while playing with 2020. In that same year, Miller helped the Buccaneers win the Super Bowl.

Before the start of the 2022 season, Miller spoke to reporters about the challenges of lasting in the NFL since he does not have great size. “Yeah, it’s never going to be easy,” he said, per the Buccaneers’ official website. “Nothing’s ever going to be handed to you. It’s kind of like my journey my whole life with football, ever since I was a little kid it’s never been easy. So I’ve just got to fight for everything and that’s just what I’ll continue to do the rest of my career. It’s just a blessing to be out here and I just try to take advantage of every opportunity I get.”

During his time at Bowling Green, Miller was selected to the All-MAC First Team in 2016 after catching 71 passes for 1,148 yards and nine touchdowns. In his college career, Miller posted 215 receptions for 2,857 yards and 23 touchdowns in 45 games.
