Coming off of a terrific finish to his rookie season, Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Connor Heyward appears poised for a strong sophomore season in the NFL.
Though he finds himself in a crowded tight ends room with veterans Pat Freiermuth and Zach Gentry, and rookie Darnell Washington, Heyward’s unique skill set allows him to see the field in different formations and situations. That has him looking like an integral part of the Steelers’ offense moving forward.
Based on his performance throughout the offseason in OTAs and minicamp, Heyward turned some heads with his growth and continued versatility.
