Cameron Heyward has established himself as one of the best defensive players in football. With that, he continues to be a great person off the field.
Heyward’s been nominated for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award by the Steelers multiple times. His work in the Pittsburgh community has had more of an impact than his on-field performance.
Heyward was awarded the 2021 Chief Award on Wednesday for his cooperation with the local media. He began Wednesday’s press conference by showing appreciation to the media.
“First of all, I wanna say thank you,” he told reporters via the team’s YouTube channel.
