Cameron Heyward Praises Stephon Tuitt, Says ‘He Grew A Lot’ And Came In ‘With The Right Mindset’

Stephon Tuitt just won his second Defensive Player of the Week honorific of his career today, from his performance against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday that included two sacks and three tackles for loss, so it seems as good a time as any for his battery mate, Cameron Heyward, to lavish praise upon him.

The Pittsburgh Steelers defensive captain was asked to describe the impact that a healthy Tuitt has had on the unit this season, after he was limited to just five-plus games last year. At the time, he was off to the best start of his career, and now that he has gotten the opportunity to get deeper into the season, he is making good on the promise that he showed in 2019.
