For the fifth time in his illustrious career, Pittsburgh Steelers team captain and All-Pro defensive tackle Cameron Heyward is up for the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year award.
While the honor of being a nominee is nothing new for the Steelers’ star, the feeling of being recognized for his play on the field and his efforts within the community off the field doesn’t get old for Heyward, who was surprised by former Steelers great and Pro Football Hall of Fame running back Jerome Bettis Tuesday at the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex to announce Heyward as the Steelers’ nominee for the award.
