Steelers' Aaron Rodgers Sends Massive Message To Fans About WR Scotty Miller

The Pittsburgh Steelers' 2025 season is getting super close to kick off. The Steelers finished up their preseason with a game Thursday night at Bank of America Stadium against the Carolina Panthers. The Steelers wrapped up the preseason with a 2-1 record. One wide receiver who many pundits believe has turned into a lock to make the 53-man roster is Scotty Miller. The 28-year-old wide receiver has impressed not only the Steelers' coaching staff, but also quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Miller came up big for Tom Brady in the playoffs before, and now he will have a chance to do the same with Rodgers.

During the second half, Rodgers spoke to the media in an interview with Missi Matthews, where he shared just how impressed he’s been with Miller. Rodgers praised Miller’s ability to separate from defenders and highlighted how reliable he’s been throughout camp and preseason action. 

For a veteran quarterback who has worked with countless receivers over the years, Rodgers’ words carried weight, and his endorsement of Miller was another strong sign that the wideout has carved out an important role on this Steelers roster. Rodgers also took time to point out the speed across the Steelers’ wide receiver group, mentioning DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin III, and Roman Wilson as players who can stretch the field.

"Scotty can fly," Rodgers said during the preseason game on Thursday night. "Straight up, fly. That is what I noticed when I was throwing with the boys out there. I mean DK obviously has incredible speed, but Scotty and Roman and Calvin can fly."

The combination of veteran playmakers like Miller and Metcalf, paired with the youth and explosiveness of Austin and Wilson, gives the Steelers a unique mix of weapons heading into the regular season. For Rodgers, having a dependable target like Miller in critical moments could prove to be a difference-maker, especially as Pittsburgh prepares for a highly competitive AFC North battle in 2025.

To hear Rodgers call the Steelers’ wide receiver room a strength because of its speed is thrilling for fans who have endured years of offensive struggles. Pittsburgh’s attack has been hard to watch in recent seasons, and even an above-average unit would feel like a major step forward. 

Many believe Rodgers is set up for a special season in black and gold, but it won’t come without challenges. Players like Miller will need to rise above their reputations and deliver when it matters most.

Steelers' Scotty Miller May Have Greater Role Than Expected In 2025

Rodgers has made it clear that he believes in Miller’s speed and playmaking ability, and the veteran receiver has backed that confidence up with a strong training camp and an impressive preseason. At this point, it feels safe to say that Miller has locked down a roster spot and could play a bigger role than many anticipated. His reliability and explosiveness give Rodgers a trustworthy option, especially in pressure situations.

Fans have already seen Miller shine in the spotlight before, most memorably when he made big playoff catches for Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In the 2024 NFL season, he finished with just five receptions for 69 yards, but the budding connection with Rodgers could open the door for far greater opportunities in 2025. If Miller can carry his preseason momentum into the regular season, he may become one of the under-the-radar contributors who helps elevate Pittsburgh’s offense to the next level.
