Scouting Report: The Pros And Cons Of DT Cam Heyward

New series we’ll conduct throughout the offseason. A review of individual players seasons, looking at their good, bad, role, and future with the team.

We’ll flip back to the defense for our assessment of DT Cam Heyward.

#97 Cam Heyward – Defensive Tackle (Entering 12th Year)

Pros: Elite strength, one of the strongest players at his position. Repeatedly wins with strength and impeccable technique. Not only controls point of attack but able to push linemen into backfield, forcing backs to change path and disrupt pullers from wrapping around. Routinely wins leverage battle and gets under blocker’s pads.
