Pittsburgh Steelers DL Cameron Heyward is the ageless wonder—at least, he isn’t showing his age yet. Now 35 years old, he is arguably playing as well as ever, no small feat considering his injuries last season. Neither he nor the Steelers, and certainly not DC Teryl Austin, take that for granted. They know how rare this is, not just the numbers he is putting up, but the quality of his play.
“I’m assuming you could probably go back and dig up the record books and look through all the film and all that stuff”, Austin said, via transcript from the Steelers’ relations media department, when asked about the rarity of what Heyward is doing this season.
