Miller is gaining recognition as one of the best tight ends in the league. He is well balanced, being an exceptional receiver as well as a blocker. However, because the Steelers deemphasize tight ends in the passing game, he does not have exceptional statistics, and therefore is not as widely acknowledged. However, Miller still capitalizes on the few opportunities that he gets, rarely dropping a pass. He still makes significant contributions to the Steeler's passing game. For the 2010-2011 season, was elected by his teammates to be the offensive captain. He is also 1 of 4 John Mackey Award recipients to win a Super Bowl and has 2 Super Bowl Rings.
