Cameron Heyward: ‘Physicality Has Been An All-Time High’ At Steelers Training Camp

There are very few NFL training camps that are run the way that Mike Tomlin and the Pittsburgh Steelers run theirs. Most teams play wrap-up or something less than full contact in an effort to preserve health, but the Steelers are among just a few teams that run full contact. Tomlin says you can’t box without first sparring. They want to get as realistic a look at their players as possible in a practice setting to take any guesswork out of the equation. It is always physical at Saint Vincent College, but veteran DE Cameron Heyward says this year stands above the rest.
