Darrius Heyward-Bey has earned the reputation as one of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ leaders, well-respected and rarely outworked. His career transformed from one bound for fame, a top ten draft pick, to someone who has to consistently do the little, often unnoticed things, to earn his keep. And he’s done it well.
That was on display in Sunday’s win over the Cleveland Browns. And you can thank Heyward-Bey for that, keeping the game a 14-7 score with his trek across the field, forcing a fumble on Briean Boddy-Calhoun’s interception that gave the ball back to Pittsburgh.
