Pittsburgh Steelers Exit Meeting: TE Connor Heyward
Experience: 3 Years
What happened to Connor Heyward in 2024? Despite Russell Wilson’s weekly praise, he saw his role in the offense considerably reduced, particularly as a skill player. Even with an offensive coordinator who favors tight ends and fullbacks, Arthur Smith couldn’t find much use for him.
Entering the final year of his rookie contract, some wonder if Heyward has seen his last snap with the Steelers. Even if he were to miss the 53-man roster, though, they would likely retain him on the practice squad.
