Ron Cook: Heyward evolves into a cornerstone of Steelers defensive unit

What a picture they make, Cam Heyward, a big, powerful man, holding his tiny baby boy Callen in his massive hands, giving him his nightly 6:30 bottle, sharing what he called “daddy time” with his boy.

“We watch a little film together,” Heyward said, grinning.

Hey, whatever works.

Little Callen, born Nov. 7, is the best part of Heyward’s magical 2015. Heyward signed a six-year, $59.2 million contract with the Steelers in July. His teammates voted him a defensive captain before the season. He has played Pro Bowl-caliber football even if he somehow was overlooked in the Pro Bowl voting.
