Before the AP reveals its All-Pro teams on Friday, Pro Football Focus handed out its own year-end honors, and two Steelers were recognized. Cameron Heyward earned a first-team nod, while seventh-round rookie Carson Bruener made PFF’s second team for his special teams play.
Heyward was a no-brainer, especially after he capped off the 2025 regular season with a legacy performance on Sunday night against the Baltimore Ravens. It’s hard to find words for what Heyward is doing at 36 years old. There are examples of defensive linemen playing to that age, but none that are accomplishing what Heyward has done this year.
