Fifteen years ago when he was breaking into the NFL as a wide-eyed rookie on a star-studded defense, Cameron Heyward had the advantage of sitting and learning behind the likes of Super Bowl champions Aaron Smith and Brett Keisel for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
That time on the bench might have been frustrating at times for Heyward, but he learned valuable lessons from his older teammates, which has helped him carve out a Hall of Fame career to this point in the Black and Gold.
Now, he’s aiming to return the favor for Steelers first-round pick Derrick Harmon.
