The Steelers have a nice crew of TEs but they rarely use them in the passing game.  Heath Miller has outstanding hands and he’s pretty fast but the Steelers don’t look his way too often when throwing the football.   He played in 16 games (all starts) last season and he caught 34 passes for 393 yards (11.6 avg) with 5 TD grabs.  He could be a Pro Bowler if the Steelers’ used him more because he’s that good.   He has now played in 32 games (31 starts) in his career and he has caught 73 passes for 852 yards (11.7 avg) with 11 TD grabs.

Jerame Tuman is back with the Steelers for another season.  He is a good blocker but he’s also an underrated receiver in the passing game but the Steelers never throw him the football.  He played in 15 games (4 starts) last season for the Steelers and he caught 7 passes for 73 yards (10.4 avg) with 1 TD grab.  He has now played in 114 games (56 starts) in his NFL career and he has caught 42 passes for 491 yards (11.7 avg) with 6 TD grabs.

Rookie Matt Spaeth is a solid all-around TE but most of his work this season will probably be on special teams.  He will eventually replace Tuman as the Steelers’ backup TE but he might have to wait at least a year.
