Steelers draft Cameron Heyward's younger brother, FB/TE Connor Heyward
The Pittsburgh Steelers already had three sets of brothers on the roster heading into the 2022 NFL Draft and added a fourth by picking Connor Heyward in the sixth round.
Heyward is the brother of the Steelers five-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman Cameron Heyward. At Michigan State, the younger Heyward began his career as a running back before moving to tight end for the 2021 season. The versatile player finished his career with the Spartans with 825 rushing yards, five rushing touchdowns, 711 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns.
Where he fits with the Steelers remains to be seen, as some expect him to play tight end in the NFL, while others have projected him as one of the top fullbacks of the class.
In addition to the Heyward brothers, Pittsburgh has T.J. and Derek Watt, Terrell and Trey Edmunds, and Carlos and Khalil Davis.
On Saturday morning, hours before the Steelers picked his brother, Cameron Heyward told NFL Network that "all hell would break loose" if the team reunited him with Connor.
