Connor Heyward finding his own rhythm on Steelers' roster

One of the best, feel-good stories of the 2022 NFL Draft was the reunion of the Heyward brothers.

The Steelers brought in Connor Heyward out of Michigan State in the sixth round to reunite with brother Cam Heyward, an age difference of 10 years and an NFL experience gap of 10 years. It was one of the best moments to highlight in recent memory, as Connor then vied for a roster spot in training camp, made the team, and now has a locker next door to his brother in the corner of the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
