Cameron Heyward doesn’t care that the San Francisco 49ers can tie the Pittsburgh Steelers’ six Super Bowl trophies on Sunday. He cares about adding to their own display case and how long it’s been since they have. There have been no new additions since 2008, and they haven’t even returned to the Super Bowl since 2010.
The Steelers drafted Heyward the following offseason—with the 31st pick, the Super Bowl loser’s slot. Pittsburgh picked 32nd in 2023, but only by technicality because the Miami Dolphins forfeited their first-round pick. Heyward wants to earn that 32nd spot and isn’t worrying about what other teams are doing.
