Sometimes it can be hard to avoid the fact that new Pittsburgh Steelers’ H-back Connor Heyward, a sixth-round draft pick by the black and gold in the 2022 NFL Draft, is the younger brother of Steelers’ star defensive lineman and captain Cameron Heyward.
Immediately following the selection, that’s exactly the label that was placed on the younger Heyward, at least from an outside perspective. Now that he’s been in facility and is preparing for his first full OTAs early next week though, Heyward is viewed not as Cam’s little brother, but instead as Connor himself, which the former Michigan State product certainly appreciates.
