                 Antwaan Randle El

Antwaan Randle El is a senior wide receiver of the The University of Indiana. Antwaan was a big part of the success in 2005 helping them win their 5^th Super Bowl.

                    Heath Miller

Heath Miller, a rookie tight end out of Virginia. His bruising running style and soft hands made him a perfect fit for the Steelers smash mouth offense. He caught 39 passes in 2005 for 459 yards and 6 TD’s. He is also another young rising star in the Pittsburgh organization.

Duce Staley is a 9 year vet out of the University of South Carolina. He is an extremely explosive running back but is too injury prone. The Steelers picked him up from the Eagles in the 2004 off-season. In the same season he rushed for 830 yards and 192 carries for only 1 TD. Willie Parker is now starting in his place and Duce is most likely done in Pittsburgh.
