Mike Tomlin ‘Not Ready To Anoint’ Connor Heyward For Role In Offense

Following Wednesday’s practice that was moved up due to the potential of inclement weather in the area, HC Mike Tomlin took time to address the media to give the daily injury update as well as his general thoughts about practice as a whole.

When questions were opened to the media, Tomlin was asked about TE/FB Connor Heyward and what elements of his game he looks forward to implementing into the offense in 2022. Despite giving Heyward praise for his competitive nature earlier in camp, Tomlin pumped the breaks a little in terms of the rookie’s outlook in 2022.
