Conner tweeted pictures of custom cleats that have Miller's face and "Thank You Mac," printed on the sides and a number of song titles in blue on the top.

Miller, a Point Breeze native, was found dead in his California home from a suspected overdose on Sept. 7. He was 26 years old.

After 192 yards on 36 touches in Week 1 of the NFL season in place of Le'Veon Bell, who's sitting out with an unsigned franchise tag, Conner is currently the Steelers starting running back.
