Former Ohio State Linemen Cameron Heyward, Corey Linsley Earn NFL All-Pro Honors Again in 2021

Cameron Heyward and Corey Linsley have once again been recognized as two of the NFL’s best linemen.

Heyward was named Friday as a first-team NFL All-Pro by the Associated Press, while Linsley was chosen as a second-team AP All-Pro.

For Heyward, it’s the third time in the last five years that he has earned first-team All-Pro honors from the AP. Heyward, who was previously a first-team All-Pro in 2017 and 2019 and also earned second-team All-Pro honors last season, is back on the first team this year after recording a career-high 89 total tackles with 10 sacks, 15 tackles for loss, nine pass deflections (also a career-high), one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery during the 2021 season for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
