Connor Heyward: ‘When You Have Your Siblings Around, It Makes You Play That Much Harder’

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before—actually don’t, I’ve got a lot to write—but the Pittsburgh Steelers like the idea of having family in their football. Or, at least, they have managed to collect a number of siblings over the years, even if they had three opportunities to draft the children or nephews of former players the past two years and didn’t seize them.

The latest addition to the sibling clan was Connor Heyward, the younger brother of perennial All-Pro Cameron. He joins T.J. and Derek Watt, Terrell and Trey Edmunds, and Carlos and Khalil Davis. Even former linebacker Vince Williams briefly had his brother Karlos on the team.
