Man he is a true Steeler. I hope he gets his extension and stays. I remember seeing him his rookie year at training camp and feeling he was going to be the torch bearer for the D. Paid his dues, became a starter and has done nothing but get better at both playing and leading.
There are a few really good players. There are a few really good team leaders. But there are very few great players who are also team leaders. Such is Heyward's value. He's better stay a Steeler.
