Heyward Praises Jack and Ogunjobi’s Run Defense, Says It Will Be Needed All Year

Talking to the media today, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward praised inside linebacker Myles Jack and fellow defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi for what they’ve added to Pittsburgh’s run defense this year.

“I think both of those guys just play downhill. They’re very physical at the point of attack. I know it’s really prevalent with a guy like Myles Jack, you can see when he’s coming downhill, but Larry, I think he plays with good leverage. He is able to always kick that line back a little bit forward, a little bit more,” Heyward said via a video posted to the team’s website.
