Cameron Heyward Fined For Eye Black That Honored Father

Cameron Heyward wore eye black Monday night with the words “Iron” and “Head” to each side, a small tribute to his father Craig “Ironhead” Heyward who passed away from bone cancer in 2006.

Evidently, the NFL wasn’t happy with that because according to Heyward’s twitter feed, he’s been fined for the act.
