Cameron Heyward On Rating Behind Aaron Donald: ‘I Work My Tail Off To Be No. 1, Not No. 2’

Cameron Heyward has already established himself as one of the best defensive tackles in the game today. But that’s not enough for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive captain. If he’s not being spoken of as the best, period, without qualification, then that means there’s still work to do.

Even when that second-best status in the form of a video game. Heyward was rated as the defensive lineman next in line behind Aaron Donald in the latest Madden game, with Donald scoring at a 99 rating, and Heyward six points behind at 93.

We’ve come a long way, because they’ve been disrespecting me a very long time”, he admitted, while appearing on the I Am Athlete podcast recently.
