Our look at the Steelers of yesteryear continues with the All-Time Steelers tight end depth chart. The tight end position is not as glamorous or flashy as wide receiver, but tight ends are key utility players, able to block like an extra lineman and catch like a wide receiver.

1. Heath Miller (2005-2015)

Health Miller is the best Steelers tight end of all time, not just for his physical abilities, but also for his positive leadership skills and longevity in the NFL. In eleven seasons, Miller won two Super Bowls, played 168 games for the Steelers, the most in team history. During that time, he tallied 592 receptions, 6,569 receiving yards, and 45 touchdowns, all records for a Steelers tight end.

When Miller retired, quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said, “He easily has the best hands I have been around. He gets open, he wins matchups. He will do the blocking . . . a person that takes pride in every aspect of his job makes him special.”

2. Bennie Cunningham (1976-1985)

Like Miller, Cunningham’s career with the Steelers was long and productive. Cunningham won two Super Bowls and finished his career with 2,879 receiving yards and 20 receiving touchdowns in 118 games. A first-round draft pick in 1976, Cunningham became a frequent target of then-quarterback Terry Bradshaw, before the league became as pass-happy as it is today.

Tight Ends Coach: James Daniel (2004-present)

This All-Time team will need a position coach. The best Steelers tight ends coach of all time is James Daniel, who has been with the team since 2004. Daniel coached Heath Miller for the entirety of his career and has been instrumental in developing other players’ blocking skills.
