The Pittsburgh Steelers drafted Cam Heyward in the 2011 NFL Draft, and they have gotten a great return on that investment. He has anchored their defensive line for the last 15 seasons and become everything they could have hoped for.

Cam has grown into a multi-season All-Pro defensive lineman for a very long time. The Steelers' history has always been deep-rooted in defensive identity and strong leadership, and Heyward has fit that bill.
