The Pittsburgh Steelers have been eagerly anticipating some assistance at the wide receiver position throughout the offseason. Fans have been particularly eager to see if the Steelers would acquire a talented wideout to complement George Pickens, but as of yet, no such addition has materialized. Nevertheless, the team has made strides in bolstering their wide receiver depth.

The Steelers improved their wide receiver corps by selecting Roman Wilson in the third round of the draft, providing added depth and assurance at the position. Yet, their efforts to solidify the unit didn't stop there, as they've recently welcomed another new addition. On Wednesday, it was revealed that the Steelers are fortifying their wide receiver corps with the signing of former Super Bowl champion wideout Scotty Miller.

This addition of Miller reunites the wide receiver with his former head coach, who now serves as the offensive coordinator in Pittsburgh, Arthur Smith. Miller, a Super Bowl champion with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has proven to be a reliable role player during his five seasons in the league. In 2023, under Smith's guidance, he was targeted just 16 times, securing 11 receptions for 161 yards and scoring twice.

While Miller may not be a household name or drastically alter the team's offensive dynamics, his familiarity with Smith could prove invaluable. He brings depth to the wide receiver position and adds another speedy option to the roster, eager to demonstrate his worth in the league.
