Pittsburgh Steelers DT Cam Heyward has been synonymous with the Steelers over the course of his career. He’s one of the best defensive linemen to represent Pittsburgh. The on-field stats don’t lie.
Unfortunately, he’s become persona non grata with many Steelers fans this summer. He’s made it clear to the organization that he wants a raise after being named First-Team All-Pro last season. He’s less certain about his status for the Steelers’ season opener against the New York Jets on Sunday. And he knows fans aren’t thrilled with him about this whole situation.
“There are loud voices, and everybody has an opinion, but I can’t control that,” Heyward said Friday, per a transcript provided by the Steelers.
