Coming into his 14th NFL season, there was a lot of concern about just what level of play Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward would exhibit.
After a tough 2023 season in which he dealt with a serious groin injury that ultimately required an in-season surgery and a post-season surgery, concerns about Heyward’s age and effectiveness dominated the offseason news cycle, especially with Heyward wanting a contract extension.
Through the first six games of the season, Heyward has put all of those concerns to rest. He looks like his All-Pro self once again and earned praise from defensive coordinator Teryl Austin Thursday.
