While QB Kenny Pickett and WR George Pickens are the headline grabbers from the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 2022 draft class, don’t forget about TE/FB Connor Heyward. Heyward showed flashes last season in limited playing time and this year he could see an increased role in the offense as he isn’t tied down to a specific position. After practice today, Heyward spoke with Mike Prisuta and Craig Wolfley and said that he doesn’t want to limit himself to one position.
“I think I can do a lot of things on the offensive side of the ball, but that goes with a lot of guys,” Heyward said in his interview which was posted to the Steelers YouTube page.
