Pittsburgh Steelers DT Cam Heyward frustrated fans this offseason with his contract dispute. But that does not change the fact that Heyward is a phenomenal defensive lineman and football player. While assistant general manager Andy Weidl did not talk about the contract negotiations, he still went out of his way to call Heyward “an all-time great Steeler.”
Don’t believe Weidl? How about former NFL Super Bowl-winning head coach Jon Gruden? Gruden previewed the AFC North Friday on his YouTube channel, and when he got to talking about the Steelers’ defense, Heyward was the first player he mentioned.
