🏈 Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Skyler Thompson gave high praise to wide receiver Scotty Miller. Miller recorded three receptions for 82 yards (27.3 average) in the Steelers’ 19-10 win over the Carolina Panthers in the preseason finale on Thursday night. Overall in the preseason, Miller caught nine passes on nine targets for 167 yards (18.6 average).
“Reliable guy, super smart, very fast. You can just count on him,” Thompson said. “He’s just gonna run the right route. He’s gonna get open, get separation. He’s gonna make plays for you, and you don’t gotta make a perfect throw to him, either. I mean, he can adjust, and he’s just a good football player.”
