ESPN.com recently put out an article naming one surprise offseason standout so far, and Brooke Pryor named Connor Heyward as the Steelers’ biggest surprise.
Pryor wrote that “It’s hard to be truly under the radar as Cam Heyward ‘s younger brother, but the rookie Heyward impressed in offseason workouts and showed a chemistry with first-round quarterback Kenny Pickett in a nice snag during a two-minute drill in minicamp.” She also wrote that the younger Heyward has been mostly working with the tight ends and receivers, something that isn’t surprising given that he was expected to play tight end when Pittsburgh drafted him.
