Nobody on the current roster of the Pittsburgh Steelers has experienced the continuity that the organization is known for like Cameron Heyward. Drafted in 2011, Heyward is in his 14th season. Up until a few years ago, he only ever had Ben Roethlisberger as the starting quarterback entering a season.
Heyward witnessed the first attempt at replacing Roethlisberger with Mitch Trubisky and Kenny Pickett in 2022. After two seasons with that group, it became apparent that the Steelers would not be able to compete in the playoffs. But the organization is known for continuity, so a lot of people thought they would keep letting Pickett develop.
