On weekdays, Cameron Heyward can't wait for 6 p.m. After therapy work and weightlifting and football workouts, Heyward returns home, where a small jar of baby food puree and a bottle await his oversized hands. It's time to feed Callen, Heyward's six-month-old son.
Moments like this can affect the way Heyward looks at football. He wants to be a great player for his son. He also wants to be there for his son in the long term, which means at some point (not now) he'll have to decide on the right time to leave the game.
