Cameron Heyward: Steelers Now Have ‘A Boatload Of Guys That Can Play’ Behind Him, Keep Him Fresh

The defensive line lost two key components of its depth and rotation this offseason, saying goodbye to veterans Tyson Alualu and Chris Wormley. And yet many still feel as though the Pittsburgh Steelers are as deep at the position as they have been in some time.

Even after weathering the retirement of Stephon Tuitt, the front office was able to fill the void by adding Larry Ogunjobi to pair with Cameron Heyward. The latter, now in his 13th season, understands the importance of having depth to take some of the load off his shoulders, something the team hasn’t always been able to do.
