Did Cam Heyward discover the fountain of youth?
Cam Heyward has either perfected time travel, discovered the fountain of youth, or is doing his greatest Benjamin Button impersonation in 2024, as the Steelers' DT continues to turn back the clock with his elite play at 35 years old.
With an impressive five sacks, 14 QB hits, six tackles for loss, and a whopping 31 QB pressures, PFF considers Heyward the best defensive lineman of 2024 so far.
Throughout Heyward's illustrious 14-year career, the Steelers' DT has accumulated 85.5 sacks, 127 TFLs, 193 QB hits, and eight forced fumbles.
Heyward's play in 2024 has been a pivotal factor in not only the team's fourth-ranked defense against the run but also the overall success of the 7-2 Pittsburgh Steelers.
While teammate T.J. Watt is considered a favorite for the Defensive Player of the Year award, Heyward is looking more and more like a dark horse candidate with each passing week.
Heyward will face a tough challenge in Week 11 as he and the Steelers take on the 7-3 Baltimore Ravens on November 17th at 1:00 PM EST.
