Signed by the Pittsburgh Steelers to a four-year contract.

Heyward appeared in 17 regular-season games for the Steelers in 2024, making six catches (on eight targets) for 40 yards and a touchdown.
Heyward secured two of four targets for 23 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 loss to Dallas.
The son of late NFL running back Craig "Ironhead" Heyward can play fullback, tight end or H-back, and has shown he has sticky hands and the determination to generate yards after the catch. Does not look like the prototypical football player and is not fast, but he will catch everything in sight. Has the potential to be effective as a move blocker and can contribute on punt coverage and kick returns.
Long Range Potential: Versatile tight end who can contribute on special teams.
