Can Cameron Heyward stave off “inevitable decline” for another season and make All-Pro again?
Defying the odds, Cameron Heyward recorded a first-team All-Pro season last year at 35; can he do it again? Obviously, he can’t do it at 35, since he’s 36 now, but you get the point. When players reach his age, observers simply wait for the decline.
I remember watching Mariano Rivera, the great Yankees Hall of Fame closer. Every year for his past several seasons, every time he blew a save or even allowed a run, it would spark a wave of conversation.
