Early life
Scotty Miller was born on July 31, 1997, in Barrington, Illinois.[6] He is the son of Scott and Kristen Miller.[7] He has three older sisters: Megan, Abby, and Kelsey.[7] Raised in the suburban community of Barrington, Miller showed an early affinity for athletics, participating in various youth sports activities. His introduction to organized football came in fifth grade when he joined the Barrington Youth Football League alongside friends from school.[8] During his initial season, Miller faced challenges securing playing time, often remaining on the bench despite his enthusiasm for the game, which fueled his determination to improve.[8] This early experience in youth leagues helped shape his work ethic and passion for the sport before transitioning to high school competition.High school career
Scotty Miller attended Barrington High School in Barrington, Illinois, where he excelled in both football and track and field.[7] As a versatile athlete on the football team, Miller played wide receiver, defensive back, and contributed on special teams during his senior year in 2014. He recorded 40 receptions for 768 receiving yards, averaging 19.2 yards per catch, while also accumulating 1,361 all-purpose yards and crossing the goal line 17 times through various means including receptions, returns, and rushes.[8][9] On defense, he tallied 42 tackles and 16 pass deflections.[10] His performance earned him selection to the Illinois High School Football Coaches Association (IHSFCA) Class 8A All-State team as well as All-Mid-Suburban Conference honors.[11][10] In track and field, Miller competed in sprints during his junior year in the spring of 2014, helping Barrington qualify for the IHSA Class 3A state meet. He placed third in the 100-meter dash final with a time of 10.74 seconds (wind-aided +1.8 m/s) and fourth in the 200-meter dash final with 21.58 seconds (-0.2 m/s).[12][13][14] These state medals highlighted his speed, which complemented his football prowess and drew attention from college recruiters.[15] Miller's high school achievements led to a Division I scholarship offer from Bowling Green, the only such offer he received despite performing well at recruiting camps for other programs. He orally committed to the Bowling Green Falcons on November 11, 2014.[16][17][18]College career
Overview
Scotty Miller played college football for the Bowling Green State University Falcons in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) from 2015 to 2018, evolving from a lightly recruited speedster into one of the program's most productive wide receivers.[19] As a redshirt freshman in 2015, he saw limited action after preserving his redshirt through the nonconference schedule, appearing in the final 10 games primarily on special teams and as a reserve slot receiver with just 7 receptions for 29 yards.[7] His role expanded significantly as a sophomore in 2016, when he started 11 of 12 games and emerged as the team's leading receiver with 74 catches for 968 yards and 10 touchdowns, earning first-team All-MAC honors and including a 149-yard, three-touchdown performance against Toledo.[19][3] In his junior year of 2017, Miller maintained a prominent offensive role, starting all 12 games and posting 63 receptions for 722 yards and 4 touchdowns, which garnered him third-team All-MAC recognition.[19][3] He capped his college career as a senior in 2018, leading the MAC with 71 receptions for 1,148 yards and 9 touchdowns over 11 games while earning second-team All-MAC honors, highlighted by milestones such as his 200th career reception and finishing third in program history with 2,867 receiving yards.[19][3] Throughout his tenure, Miller transitioned from a specialized slot receiver and return specialist to a versatile offensive contributor, leveraging his elite speed—evident from high school track times that carried over to college—to stretch defenses in the Falcons' MAC competitions.[20] His development helped solidify Bowling Green's receiving corps during a period of consistent MAC play, culminating in 215 career receptions and 23 touchdowns that ranked him among the program's all-time leaders.[19]Receiving Statistics

Professional career
Draft and early professional entry
Miller entered the 2019 NFL Draft as a prospect noted for his exceptional speed but limited by his smaller stature, measuring 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 174 pounds at Bowling Green's pro day.[2] Despite recording 215 receptions for 2,867 yards and 23 touchdowns over his college career, his size drew concerns from scouts, positioning him as a late-round projection with strengths in quickness and route-running praised in evaluations.[21] At his pro day, Miller ran a 4.26-second 40-yard dash, highlighting his elite burst that translated from his college production into potential NFL special teams and gadget roles.[22] The Tampa Bay Buccaneers selected Miller in the sixth round with the 208th overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, acquiring the selection in a trade that sent wide receiver DeSean Jackson to the Philadelphia Eagles.[23] On May 9, 2019, he signed a standard four-year rookie contract worth $2,647,840, including a signing bonus of $127,480, which provided the fully guaranteed portion of the deal.[24] This agreement reflected typical compensation for a late-round wide receiver, emphasizing his value as a developmental speed asset rather than an immediate starter.[25] Miller missed the first two preseason games due to a hamstring injury but returned for the third contest against the Cleveland Browns, where he caught two passes for 15 yards.[26] In the final preseason game against the Dallas Cowboys, he added two more receptions for 9 yards, contributing on offense and special teams to secure a spot on the 53-man roster as an undrafted-like late pick who impressed with his versatility and effort.[27] His preseason performance, totaling four catches for 24 yards across two games, underscored his ability to compete despite his physical limitations, earning him a role primarily as a return specialist and depth receiver entering his rookie season.[21]Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Scotty Miller joined the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as a sixth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and quickly earned a spot on the active roster as an undrafted-like contributor due to his speed.[2] In his rookie season, he appeared in 10 games, recording 13 receptions for 200 yards and one touchdown, with his score coming on a 49-yard catch in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions.[28] Miller's role was primarily as a deep threat in Bruce Arians' vertical offense, leveraging his 4.26-second 40-yard dash time to stretch defenses, though injuries and depth at wide receiver limited his snaps.[23] Miller's second season in 2020 marked a breakout year, as he played all 16 games with five starts, hauling in 33 receptions for 501 yards and three touchdowns.[29] A highlight was his career-high 109 receiving yards on six catches during a Week 7 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, showcasing his ability to exploit single coverage.[5] His contributions extended into the playoffs, where he helped the Buccaneers capture Super Bowl LV; notable was a 39-yard touchdown reception from Tom Brady at halftime of the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers, a pivotal play in the 31-26 victory that propelled Tampa Bay to the Super Bowl.[30] Miller finished the postseason with six receptions for 104 yards and one touchdown across four games.[31] The 2021 season proved challenging for Miller, as a turf toe injury sidelined him for seven games after Week 3, limiting him to nine appearances with five receptions for 38 yards and no scores.[32] Despite the setback, he returned late in the year and contributed in the wild-card playoff win over the Philadelphia Eagles, catching two passes for 17 yards.[33] In 2022, Miller rebounded to play 15 games as a rotational receiver in an offense still led by Tom Brady, registering 23 receptions for 185 yards.[34] His speed continued to serve as a complementary asset behind stars like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, with key contributions including a 23-yard catch in the season opener against the Dallas Cowboys.[35] Over his four seasons with the Buccaneers, Miller amassed 74 receptions for 924 yards and four touchdowns in 50 games, establishing himself as a reliable speed option in Arians' and successor Todd Bowles' schemes before becoming an unrestricted free agent in 2023.[2]Atlanta Falcons
On March 28, 2023, Scotty Miller signed a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons worth $1.232 million, adding veteran depth to the wide receiver room following his tenure with the NFC South rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers.[36][37] During the 2023 season, Miller appeared in all 17 games for the Falcons, primarily serving as a slot receiver in head coach Arthur Smith's run-heavy offensive scheme, where he lined up in the slot on 138 of 262 offensive snaps compared to 124 outside.[2][38] He recorded 11 receptions on 16 targets for 161 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 14.6 yards per catch, while playing 24% of the team's offensive snaps (267 total) without starting a game or suffering any major injuries.[39][40] His role emphasized his speed—carried over from his Buccaneers days—as a rotational option behind primary targets like Drake London and Kyle Pitts, contributing to a Falcons offense that ranked 19th in passing yards.[41] Key moments included Miller's two touchdown receptions: a 6-yard score from Taylor Heinicke in a Week 8 loss to the Tennessee Titans, and a 1-yard touchdown from Desmond Ridder in a Week 10 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. He also had a season-long 56-yard reception in the regular-season finale against the New Orleans Saints, helping Atlanta secure a 48-17 win despite the team's 7-10 record and missing the playoffs.[40][4] Following the 2023 season, Miller's contract expired, making him an unrestricted free agent; he subsequently signed a one-year deal with the Pittsburgh Steelers on May 8, 2024.[37]Pittsburgh Steelers
On May 8, 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers signed wide receiver Scotty Miller to a one-year contract worth up to $1.3 million, including a base salary of $1.125 million and a potential $167,500 roster bonus.[42][43] This move reunited Miller with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers teammate and Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, positioning him as a depth option in a receiver room led by George Pickens and Roman Wilson. Known for his speed from his college days at Bowling Green, where he ran a 4.26-second 40-yard dash, Miller brought veteran experience to a unit seeking reliability behind its starters.[44] During the 2024 season, Miller appeared in 13 games for the Steelers, primarily contributing on special teams while serving as a rotational wide receiver in Mike Tomlin's run-heavy offense. He recorded 5 receptions for 69 yards, averaging 13.8 yards per catch, with his longest gain of 21 yards coming against the Cleveland Browns in Week 14.[39][45] His role emphasized gunner duties on punt coverage and occasional slot snaps, helping the team maintain balance in a scheme that prioritized rushing attacks led by Najee Harris and Jaylen Warren. Despite limited offensive production, Miller's special teams reliability earned him consistent snaps, appearing in over 200 special teams plays across the season. In the 2025 offseason, the Steelers re-signed Miller on March 13 to another one-year deal valued at $1.1 million, securing his return as a special teams asset and depth receiver amid roster turnover at the position.[46][47] Through Week 10 of the 2025 season, Miller has played in 6 games, logging just 1 reception for 9 yards while averaging 1.5 receiving yards per game. His participation has been hampered by a broken finger injury sustained during practice in Week 8, which required surgery and sidelined him for Weeks 9 and 10; he returned to full participation ahead of Week 11, limiting his adaptation to the Steelers' continued emphasis on a ground-oriented attack under coordinator Smith.[39][45][48] Despite the injury setbacks, Miller remains a key return specialist and coverage player, contributing to the team's league-leading special teams efficiency in punt and kickoff phases.[49]Career statistics
