Former Steelers’ wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey wasn’t a man of many words in Pittsburgh. But he opened up about his football career and time with the black in gold in an appearance on the 3 and Out podcast hosted by John Middlekauff.
DHB’s story is well-known. A former top ten pick who lit it up at the Combine, he failed to meet those lofty expectations in Oakland and quickly flamed out there. After a year in Indianapolis, Heyward-Bey put together five strong years in Pittsburgh, evolving from first-round pick to core special teams player.
