Steelers’ Heyward Talks Defending Against Ravens’ Jackson, Retirement Of Yanda

Baltimore Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson won the NFL MVP award last season after throwing for 3,127 and 36 touchdowns in addition to rushing for another 1,206 yards and seven touchdowns. On Friday, Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cameron Heyward was a guest on 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore and he was asked during that interview to comment on Jackson’s freak athleticism and play last season and if he thought the Ravens offense kind of snuck up on people last season.

“I think the thing you gotta realize is with most defenses, you don’t look as a quarterback to be a runner, and that you can trade one for one and you’ll always have a free guy able to make the tackle,” Heyward said.
