For six of Cam Heyward’s 13 years in the NFL, he’s been nominated to represent the Pittsburgh Steelers in the quest for the league’s highest honor, the Walter Payton Man of the Year.
This year he finally did it! His head coach, teammates and family each took to social media to congratulate Heyward on the achievement.
Congrats to my guy @CamHeyward. I am so proud of the man you are. What you do on the field is your job. What you do off the field represents the person you are. You are a true leader on the team and in the community. I am honored to be your coach.
