Cam Heyward’s not going to be happy to read this. The website Touchdown Wire continues to put together its list of the Top 11 at every position in the NFL entering 2023. While Heyward is on the list, he’s lower than any Pittsburgh Steelers’ fan would think, dropping down to #9 on author Doug Farrar’s rankings.
In writing about Heyward, Farrar praises him for still playing at a high-level in his mid-30s, noting how assignment-sound his game is. He also wrote that Heyward can do his damage from every gap and technique, making him all the more difficult to block.
