As the NFL’s calendar moves closer and closer to the start of training camp across the country, things are starting to become much more clear for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ plan for rookie sixth-round draft choice Connor Heyward.
Heyward, a running back throughout most of his collegiate career at Michigan State before switching to H-back in 2021, doesn’t have a true position overall in the NFL, at least for the time being. There’s a good chance he’s an H-back with the Steelers moving forward, but for now Heyward is spending a ton of time in the Steelers’ tight ends room under position coach Alfredo Roberts.
