As I wrote of myself earlier today, I think it’s entirely possible that some of us are taking Cameron Heyward for granted. He has been everything that the Pittsburgh Steelers could have possibly thought he would be when they drafted him 31st overall back in 2011, and nine season into his career, he is still playing, perhaps, as well as he ever has.
In 2019, a year during which he was voted into the Pro Bowl outright and received first-team All-Pro honors—the first season in which both happened together—the big man put up some truly admirable numbers, including by far a career-high in tackles with 83, among them 11 for a loss.
