When the Pittsburgh Steelers originally signed veteran wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey to a one-year contract in April of 2014 there probably weren’t many fans of the team who would have bet on him playing past that one season. Not only did the former first-round draft pick of the Oakland Raiders make it past that initial season, he’s played three more in Pittsburgh since and appears headed for a fourth one in 2018.
During his Tuesday afternoon session with the media, new Steelers wide receiver coach Darryl Drake was asked about Heyward-Bey and if he has a role on this year’s team.
