You want to talk about Comeback Player of the Year? Cam Heyward should garner serious consideration. From a groin tear in the regular season opener a year ago, many questioned if Heyward’s career was closing up. Receiving a contract extension this summer produced outrage.
In response, all Heyward has done is have another stellar season. One of football’s best interior linemen if not the best this season. Only New York Giants’ NT Dexter Lawrence and Kansas City Chiefs’ DT Chris Jones could be argued. Heyward added two more sacks in Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Browns, giving him eight on the year.
