Though he was injured early in the 2023 season and missed six games, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward got the chance to sit back and watch some new faces step up defensively for the Black and Gold.
Now, ahead of his 14th season in the NFL, Heyward is excited to see a couple of young players take that next step and help the Steelers’ defense reach a new level.
During an appearance on the “Green Light Pod” with former NFL defensive end Chris Long, Heyward spotlighted defensive lineman Keeanu Benton and outside linebacker Nick Herbig as two young Steelers he’s most excited to watch in 2024.
