Connor Heyward Ready As Next Rookie to Impact Steelers The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for sixth-round pick Connor Heyward to step up this week.

Logs two receptions in blowout loss Heyward secured both of his targets for 12 yards during the Steelers' 38-3 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Heyward wasn't targeted over the first four weeks of the season, and he totaled just six offensive snaps during that time. However, he saw a slight uptick in playing time in Week 5 since the Steelers faced a significant deficit and Pat Freiermuth (concussion) exited the game. It's possible that Heyward sees slightly increased usage if Freiermuth misses additional time, but the rookie sixth-rounder remains behind Zach Gentry on the Steelers' depth chart.

Joins Steel City The Steelers selected Heyward in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, 208th overall.

Impact Heyward joins older brother Cameron Heyward on the Steelers as Pittsburgh now has four sets of brothers on its roster. The redshirt senior is probably more of a fullback or H-back at the NFL level rather than tight end, where he played at Michigan State. Listed at 5-foot-11, 233 pounds at the NFL Combine, Heyward's 4.72 40-yard dash was about what most expected given his lack of high-end athleticism, but he's a determined player whether he's blocking or catching passes.
