Speaking to reporters at Pro Bowl practice Friday, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end Cameron Heyward expressed his hope for fewer distractions surrounding the team in 2018.
According to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler, Heyward said he believes the Steelers can take a step forward if they are more focused on the task at hand next season:
"I just challenge all of us to not let that stuff happen again. Who's to say we have to have all that stuff going on? We can be a better team because of it, grow from it, but that stuff is not going to get us anywhere.
