Miller’s production was hampered some last season as he worked back from a knee injury he suffered late in 2012. The Steelers simply want him to improve on the 58 catches for 593 yards and one touchdown he had last season.
Miller has played exclusively for the Steelers since being the 30th overall pick in 2005.
