‘”Still to this day, I wear glasses and contacts whenever I get ready to play. It’s just super cool to be able to level out the playing field in the classroom, and actually on the football field,” said Miller during his Von’s Vision event on Monday at Highmark Stadium. “I don’t know what type of football player I would be out there if I didn’t wear contacts if I weren’t able to see. And I can only imagine what some of these kids go through in the classroom not being able to see the board, or not even knowing they have vision problems. So it’s very special to me to be in a situation like this, to be able to give the gift of sight.”‘
