Tomlin Respects Heyward’s Decision To Wear “Illegal” Eye Black

There’s been quite a bit of discussion about the league’s decision to fine Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward for him choosing to honor his late father Craig “Iron Head” Heyward by writing the words “Iron” and “Head” on his eye black during games and those discussions aren’t going to be ending anytime soon.

During his Tuesday press conference, head coach Mike Tomlin was asked if he’s talked recently to Heyward about his decision to make a statement during the month in which the NFL dedicates to drawing awareness to breast cancer.
