Pittsburgh Steelers take Connor Heyward in Round 6, giving team 4th set of brothers

PITTSBURGH -- Connor Heyward walked into his mom's room in their Atlanta home when his phone started ringing. He shielded it from his big brother, Pittsburgh Steelers All-Pro defensive tackle Cam Heyward, and answered the call.

Curious, Cam stood near him and tried to figure out who was on the phone with his brother, a running back-turned-tight end from Michigan State. On the nearby television, the Chicago Bears were making a sixth-round pick, so Cam thought maybe his brother was heading to the Bears.

He tried to interrupt, asking Connor who was on the phone.
