Cameron Heyward projects as a versatile interior lineman best suited for a one-gap 3-4 defense that emphasizes penetrating defensive linemen.
He can immediately contribute as a rotational 3-4 defensive end, eventually developing into an impactful starter with Pro Bowl upside.
A traditional two-gap 3-4 scheme where he would be asked to consistently hold the point of attack against double teams would limit his effectiveness.
His athleticism and size make him a strong fit for schemes that prioritize disruption along the defensive line.
Selected #31 overall in Round 1 of the 2011 NFL Draft by Pittsburgh Steelers out of Ohio State.
