Elderly Unicorn: Cam Heyward Soon to Climb on Steelers’ Longevity Leaderboard

Elderly Unicorn: Cam Heyward Soon to Climb on Steelers’ Longevity Leaderboard

PITTSBURGH — While answering a reporter’s question on Thursday morning, Cam Heyward realized his typically booming voice was being stifled by the rap music obnoxiously pouring through the Pittsburgh Steelers’ locker room speakers.

“Hey, Burt!” Heyward said, calling out to the team’s senior director of communications, Burt Lauten, across the way. “Burt! Turn that down, please!”

A moment later, Lil Durk’s “Movement” trailed off and Heyward disapprovingly shook his head before continuing his brief weekly responsibility as the defense’s spokesperson.

I fear #Steelers 15th-year veteran Cam Heyward isn’t beating the “old man” allegations… pic.twitter.com/Ue5TRoRTYG

Former Steelers Player Floats Idea of Benching Aaron Rodgers: ‘You Gotta Make the Switch’

If Aaron Rodgers has multiple games like he did in Los Angeles on Sunday night, former Pittsburgh Steelers nose tackle Chris Hoke thinks the Steelers have to bench the four-time NFL MVP for Mason Rudolph.

“I think if Mason could go out there and run the offense very well, so possibly,” Hoke said on 93.7 The Fan. “If Aaron Rodgers plays like he did on Sunday night, absolutely. But Aaron has also played really well this year, so which Aaron will we get on Sunday? I think the next, two or three weeks is gonna tell. If he plays like...

Ja’Marr Chase Gives Blunt Assessment on Joey Porter Jr.

Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase gave an honest assessment on Pittsburgh Steelers cornerback Joey Porter Jr. ahead of Sunday’s game.
