T.J. Watt Calls Cameron Heyward ‘Mr. Reliable’, Says He Doesn’t Get The Respect He Deserves

I don’t know how many more years Cameron Heyward may have left in his playing career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Whenever he does go, though, I don’t think it would be too absurd to say that he deserves the same sort of send-off that quarterback Ben Roethlisberger got this year in his final game at Heinz Field.

Of course, the quarterback position is uniquely important in the game of football, but as individuals, Heyward is about the most significant presence the Steelers have had in their locker room since they last won a Super Bowl. It’s no surprise that he has consistently been voted captain for years, nor is it a coincidence, for what he brings, routinely, both on and off the field.
