Arthur Smith isn’t about to turn TE Connor Heyward into a Pro Bowler, but he can certainly find him snaps. The third-year pro is now playing in an offense under Smith that better fits a player like him. Not only is that obvious based on his resume, it is also evident in his words.
“Connor is another guy – a unique football player”, Smith said about Heyward, via transcript provided by the Steelers media department. “A guy that played a different spot in college. Very good spatial player, he’s a good teamer and a tough football player. It’s been fun moving Connor around”.
