12/07/25	Mike Tomlin Sees Similarity Between Connor Heyward And Mark Andrews. On the surface, the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Connor Heyward and Baltimore Ravens’ Mark Andrews don’t seem to have anything in common. One is an undersized backup, the other a bonafide starter who just received a large contract extension. One a late round pick, the other a Top 100 selection. But in one respect, Mike Tomlin sees […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/12/mike-tomlin-sees...
10/01/25	Connor Heyward ‘Extremely Comfortable’ Running Steelers’ Tush Push Play, Hints More To Come. The Steelers ran the Tush Push for the first time on Sunday with Connor Heyward as the so-called “quarterback”. It sounds like it won’t be the last time, either. After all, why not? They ran it with success, and it’s not like they haven’t had recent short-yardage issues. Of course, QB Aaron Rodgers was actually […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/10/connor-heyward-e...

9/30/25	‘His Helmet Went Blank’: Connor Heyward Says Aaron Rodgers Had ‘Technical Difficulties’ On Steelers’ Final Drive. The Steelers’ Week 4 win over the Vikings felt secure for most of its duration. A 24-21 final score made it closer than it should have been, though. With 2:08 left, one Vikings timeout, and the two-minute warning, Pittsburgh only needed a first down to finish in victory formation—until technical difficulties struck. According to Connor […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/09/his-helmet-went-...
9/01/25	Connor Heyward Believes He’s Steelers Fans’ New ‘Scapegoat’ As Cam’s Little Brother. Connor Heyward has made the Steelers’ 53-man roster for four years now but is tired of people questioning whether he earned it. The younger brother of Steelers All-Pro Cam Heyward, he knows his family’s legacy is a blessing and a curse.

8/12/25	‘Does The Right Thing Every Time’: Aaron Rodgers Raves About ‘Really Smart’ Connor Heyward. Through the first three years of his career, Connor Heyward hasn’t made much of an impact. He’s been stuffed down on the depth chart, and playing time in 2025 seems even more unlikely now that the Steelers have acquired Jonnu Smith. However, that may change in a big way, thanks to a new quarterback being […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/08/does-the-right-t...

7/14/25	Connor Heyward Should Be ‘A Little Bit Nervous’ After Jonnu Smith Trade, Brooke Pryor Says. Is Connor Heyward one tight end too many for the Steelers and Arthur Smith, if there is such a thing? In theory, there is room for him on the roster, if we just go by last season. But with the strength of their top trio now, there is reason to question how strong his hold […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/07/connor-heyward-s...

7/11/25	Steelers Stock Watch – TE Connor Heyward. Player: TE Connor Heyward Stock Value: Down Reasoning: Though Connor Heyward’s special-teams value may preserve his roster spot, Jonnu Smith makes him a virtual irrelevance on offense. In his first season under OC Arthur Smith last year, he saw his usage rate drop. He will, at best, serve as the fourth tight end this season, […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/07/steelers-stock-w...
6/12/25	Former Spartan TE Heyward Getting Ready for Position Change. Former Michigan State tight end Connor Heyward is entering his fourth NFL season with the Pittsburgh Steelers but will likely see a position change for the 2025 season. Due to the immense depth at the tight end position, the former sixth-round pick (2022) may head to fullback. Anthony Licciardi of Yahoo Sports reported on Heyward's potential position change as he is currently third on the Steelers' depth chart at tight end behind five-year pro Pat Freiermuth and 2023 third-rounder Darnell Washington.

6/07/25	Steelers TE Working on Position Change. Connor Heyward has bulked up this offseason while preparing to take on a bit of a new role for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heyward is up from 230 pounds to 240, and he told reporters on Wednesday that he added some extra weight to help him out while blocking, which likely means that he's ready to shift to more of a fullback role. “My senior year I played at 240," he said, per PennLive's Nick Farabaugh. Heyward, a sixth-round pick out of Michigan State in the 2022 NFL Draft, began his collegiate career as a running back before shifting to more of an H-back role.

Player: TE Connor Heyward Stock Value: Up Reasoning: Donald Parham Jr.’s injury helps Connor Heyward keep his job this season, as grim as that might sound.

5/08/25	Steelers’ Most Vulnerable Veterans: Connor Heyward. Connor Heyward is among the Steelers’ most vulnerable veterans to miss the 53-man roster this season due to personnel turnover. Including some 2024 free-agent signings, veteran players lose jobs to the incoming class every year. The Steelers could see some pretty significant roster turnover in 2025, though, and in fact, they have already started. After […] Source: https://steelersdepot.com/2025/05/steelers-most-vu...

4/27/25	Steelers Draft Pick Following in Dad's Footsteps. From Joey Porter Jr. to Connor Heyward and Derek Watt, the Pittsburgh Steelers are no strangers to bringing in players over recent years who have familial connections to the team. Mark posted 1,197 yards and 16 touchdowns on 137 receptions in Pittsburgh, and the hope is that Carson can now carve out his own legacy within the organization after posting 305 tackles and five interceptions in 52 collegiate contests.
