The bloodlines that exist in today’s sports carry a substantial amount of weight, as we can see with recent players across all sports, such as Vladimir Guerrero, Jr., Bronny James or Arch Manning, the nephew of Peyton and Eli who’s the number-one ranked quarterback in the 2023 high school class. The Steelers know about bloodlines more than any other team in the NFL, as they currently have four sets of brothers on their team, with Derek and T.J. Watt, Carlos and Khalil Davis, Trey and Terrell Edmunds and now after the 2022 draft, Cameron and Connor Heyward.
Heyward is the sixth round draft pick of the team this year, and offers positional versatility as a rugged fullback/H-back type while also being fully capable of playing tight end.
