Film Room: Connor Heyward’s Strong Special Teams Start (And Other STs Musings)

If you know me, and I’m a man who just picked up a Chidi Iwuoma jersey, I love special teams. So while the focus was understandably on Kenny Pickett and George Pickens and the Steelers’ iffy front seven, I had to dive into the special teams tape, the All-22 opening a new window into how those on that unit performed.

The number one thing that stuck out to me was 6th round rookie Connor Heyward. As an undersized tight end, his role to make the team was through his versatility, his pass catching ability, and importantly, what he could do on special teams.
