After being selected with the 208th pick in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, the sentiment of Connor Heyward being drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers came with mixed results. On one hand, the selection was the most predictable of any for Pittsburgh given the fact his older brother Cam Heyward is already on the team and Pittsburgh has “a thing” for football families, currently having four sets of brothers on the 90-man roster. On the other hand, Pittsburgh already has an established fullback on the roster in Derek Watt, making Heyward’s projection to the team less clear-cut.
