When Cam Heyward takes the field Monday night against the New York Giants, he’ll set a record that surpasses what’s been done by any other defensive player in Pittsburgh Steelers’ history. It’ll mark game No. 202 with the team, breaking a tie with S Donnie Shell for most by a member of the Steelers’ defense.
Heyward, easy as it might be, isn’t resting on his laurels.
“I don’t take being in this locker room lightly,” Heyward said post-practice via the team’s website. “Wearing the Steeler jersey, there’s always respect there. But to wear it more than 200 times and to be amongst guys like Donnie Shell and others, I am always thankful to be a part of that.
