Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward seems to be aging like fine wine, at least in Pro Football Focus’ mind. PFF’s Gordon McGuinness posted his interior defender rankings for the 2023 season Tuesday morning, and Heyward was fifth in the league.
“Despite being 34 years old, Heyward continues to perform at an elite level,” McGuiness wrote. “With consistent PFF grades of 89.0 or better over the past four seasons, he routinely ranks among the top players in the NFL at the position. His career can’t go on forever, but there’s no reason to expect him to drop off in 2023, considering how he performed last year.
