00:00 Oh, it was exciting. I didn't believe it at first. Omar came over and congratulated TJ

00:06 Watt here and then he turned and congratulated me. I was like, "For what?"

00:10 He said, "Congratulations, you made the Pro Bowl." Oh man, I was just overwhelmed with

00:17 gratefulness, excitement. It's still a little surreal for me.

00:22 Does that go to show you like you're doing things the right way?

00:25 Oh, no doubt. I've been doing it a long time. This is my eighth year and I've just been

00:30 trying to work really hard and just keep my nose down and do what's required of me.

00:36 It was cool to see that those efforts recognized. It means a lot for everybody who voted. Shout

00:42 out to my family and friends. I know I owe some ibuprofen or something to some of those

00:48 risks. I got some heavy voters in my family. I'm truly grateful to Steelers Nation and

00:56 it's a really exciting honor.

00:57 Miles, to that point, you do all that work. A lot of it doesn't get noticed. Is there

01:02 a gratification like, "Okay, if somebody realizes the effort that I'm putting in and the things

01:07 we're doing, maybe not a lot of people will watch it."

01:10 Oh yeah. It's always good to get recognized. I try to deflect all the glory upwards. I'm

01:17 a man of faith. I don't really do it for the recognition, but it is a nice pat on the back,

01:27 man. I do appreciate it.
