If the individual performance in Sunday’s season finale against the Cleveland Browns is any indication of what lies ahead for Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Connor Heyward, the future as a Swiss Army knife within the young offense of the Steelers is rather bright.
Heyward, a sixth-round pick out of Michigan State in the 2022 NFL Draft, played 175 snaps offensively as a rookie, including 25 in the season finale against the Browns, which happened to be the second-most snaps in a single game as a rookie, right behind the 30 he played against Tampa Bay in Week 6.
