Renaissance – The revival of art and literature under the influence of classic models in the 14th-16th centuries.
When the Pittsburgh Steelers signed former first round wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey to a contract in 2014, it was seen as a chance to add a veteran presence to the depth chart after losing Jerricho Cotchery in the free agent market. Although the Steelers had much talent at the wide receiver position, they were quite raw at the time.
Heyward-Bey more than likely caught the Steelers’ eye after starting in eleven games for the Indianapolis Colts in the 2013 season when he replaced an injured Reggie Wayne in the lineup.
