DL Cameron Heyward isn’t a captain of the Pittsburgh Steelers simply by virtue of seniority. He earned that distinction through years of consistent displays of leadership. We got a glimpse of that on the sidelines thanks to last night’s edition of Inside the NFL on The CW with Ryan Clark.
The broadcast showed a moment following ILB Kwon Alexander’s Achilles injury that knocked him out of the game and Mark Robinson into it. The inexperienced second-year player suddenly found himself thrust into a role of greater responsibility than he had been prepared for, but Heyward had some words for him.
