‘I’m Thankful For Them:’ Connor Heyward On Tight End Room

Connor Heyward may literally be Cam Heyward’s younger brother. But the vets in the tight end room treat Connor like he’s their little bro. Sitting down with Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews in an interview posted today, Heyward gave an outline of the tight end room dynamic.

“It’s a really close knit,” Heyward told Matthews. “Everybody gets along really well. Everyone’s pushing each other. We like to mess around, but we also know when it’s time to be serious. Zach’s the oldest one. Obviously Pat’s a great player but they’re both really good leaders. They kind of treat me like the little brother, kind of mess with me sometimes.
