Cameron Heyward has been recognized once again as one of the NFL’s best players – but this time, it’s for his actions off the field.
Heyward was named Tuesday as this year’s winner of the Pro Football Writers of America’s Good Guy Award, which is awarded annually to an NFL player who helps the media do their jobs with their professionalism and willingness to answer questions.
From the PFWA’s new release on the award:
Heyward did not miss a media availability during the 2021 season, and those on the beat locally in Pittsburgh said he never avoided a tough question as he offered open and honest discussions about everything from on-the-field issues to the impact of the retirement of quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
