Heath Miller: Ben was toughest player he ever knew

LeeAnn Lowman from SteelerNation.com shares Heath Miller’s interview this week with KDKA Sports Director, Bob Pompeani. Here are some highlights from her report:

Pompeani told Miller that Roethlisberger always credits him with being the player he feels most comfortable with. He said when he needed a play to be made, he dialed up Miller. Miller agreed their bond is special:

“Well we are only a year apart, he was drafted before me. I was fortunate, not many guys can say they played their whole career, for me that was 11 years, with one Hall of Fame quarterback.”

I see his nose and it’s going like this (makes a zig-zag motion on his face with his finger). My reaction was like, ‘Oh!’ I don’t even think I remembered the play and I had to ask someone else what the play was again. He said he didn’t know his nose was that messed up until he looked in the mirror at halftime.

“I know he continued that game and we ended up winning that game. That’s just a little snippet that explains how tough he was.”


Roethlisberger and Miller formed more than just a working relationship, they became close friends:

“I think it’s probably something where we’ve played 11 years together, we’ve been through different seasons of life, we’ve seen each other go through different seasons of life and so I think those experiences are […]
