Cameron Heyward has been a model player and a model citizen since pretty much the second the Pittsburgh Steelers selected him with the 31st pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. His drafting was almost like a storybook ending, the son of Pitt great Craig ‘Ironhead’ Heyward joining the local professional football team.
While the Steelers haven’t had great postseason success since then—in fact, they’ve only played in eight postseason games over the course of his nine-year career, and went 3-5 in them, going one-and-done in 2011, 2014, and 2017—Heyward certainly can’t be blamed for that.
