In an effort to bolster their offensive lineup, the Pittsburgh Steelers have announced the signing of wide receiver Scotty Miller to a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 26-year-old Miller spent the previous season with the Atlanta Falcons under the guidance of now-Steelers offensive coordinator, Arthur Smith.

During his tenure with the Falcons, Miller showcased his skills by appearing in all 17 games. He recorded 11 receptions for 161 yards, including two touchdowns. Additionally, Miller was on the field for approximately 24 percent of Atlanta's offensive snaps, proving his reliability and versatility.

Before joining the Falcons, Miller was a sixth-round pick by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the 2019 NFL Draft. He capped off the 2020 season by winning Super Bowl LV with the Buccaneers, highlighting his contribution to the team's success. In his career, Miller has accumulated 85 catches for 1,085 yards and six touchdowns in 67 games.

The Steelers' decision to sign Miller is part of a larger trend as they continue to add former Atlanta players to their roster. Alongside Miller, Pittsburgh has also acquired Cordarrelle Patterson, Van Jefferson, and MyCole Pruitt, all of whom played under Smith during their time in Atlanta.

The addition of Miller strengthens the Steelers' receiving corps and provides quarterback Ben Roethlisberger with another reliable target. As the team prepares for the upcoming season, Pittsburgh fans can look forward to Miller's speed and ability to stretch the field, while his experience with Smith brings a sense of familiarity to the offensive approach.

With the signing of Scotty Miller, the Steelers further demonstrate their commitment to improving their offensive firepower and positioning themselves as strong contenders in the upcoming NFL season.
