The last time we saw Michigan State Football running back Connor Heyward on Twitter, it was to announce his return to the Spartans. Heyward had originally left the team during last season to enter the transfer pool, but this offseason decided to return to the team that is now being led by new head coach Mel Tucker. On Monday, Heyward resurfaced on social media, posting an awesome training video that shows him putting in quite a bit of work.
You can watch the video below:
MSU fans will probably make note of the fact that about half of the video is spent with Heyward doing receiving drills. I wouldn’t read too much into this, but Heyward’s 2020 position has been a question mark this offseason. While new offensive coordinator Jay Johnson said that he expects Heyward to stay at running back, there are some fans who have speculated if he doesn’t have a potential future in a pass-catching role. As of right now there are seemingly at least two running backs ahead of Heyward on the depth chart, so whether he stays at running back or not, it’s probably good to distinguish himself by expanding his pass-catching game.
