Brett Keisel Recalls Playing With Young Cam Heyward, Discusses Mentorship

Perhaps one of the best value draft picks for Pittsburgh Steelers former GM Kevin Colbert, a 31st overall selection in the 2011 NFL Draft in Cam Heyward who has racked up three first team All-Pro nods, five Pro-Bowls, and perhaps most importantly has become the leader in the Steelers locker room

Heyward stepped into a team that had come off a Super Bowl berth, and a defensive line room with seasoned veterans in Brett Keisel, Casey Hampton, Aaron Smith, among others. As such, Heyward was initially taken under their wing, which he cited in a recent interview as especially helpful in his career trajectory.
