Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward has 10 sacks and is enjoying the best season of his seven-year career. If ever there was a time when he would be recognized as one of the best players at his position this was it.
But when the NFL announced the 2018 Pro Bowl rosters Tuesday night Heyward was not among the NFL-high eight Steelers named.
“I’m so happy for all the guys that made it, especially my linemen, always proud of them,” quarterback Ben Roethlisberger said. “I just really thought — and I know there are always snubs and everyone wants to talk about it, and I hate talking about that — but I really felt Cam Heyward deserved it.
