The post-season accolades are starting to roll in for Pittsburgh Steelers’ team captain and star defensive lineman Cameron Heyward.
Heyward, who signed a two-year extension with the Steelers prior to the start of the 2024 season after enduring an injury-marred 2023 season that had people questioning his age and effectiveness, put up a terrific season from start to finish. In the process, Heyward earned a Professional Football Writers of America first-team All-NFL accolade Monday, as voted on by writers who cover the 32 NFL teams daily.
Along with Heyward, kicker Chris Boswell earned first-team All-NFL honors, too, for his near-record-setting season in which he booted 41 field goals on 44 attempts, becoming the first Steelers’ kicker to ever lead the NFL in scoring.
