Training Camp Diary
If there is anyone who knows what life at Saint Vincent College is all about, it’s Cameron Heyward.
Heyward is entering his 12th NFL season, all of which spent with the Steelers, and he was happy to be back on campus for training camp.
“We’re back. It’s nice to be back,” said Heyward. “It’s weird because I think only 20 players have been here. We have a lot to catch up on.”
Heyward is a player who understands the importance of camp, the way a team can bond when they get away from home and are around football and each other 24/7.
“You have to experience it yourself,” said Heyward. “You come up here, you get to bond with your team, you get up close with the fans. It’s one of those sacred places that will never go away.
“Those nights where you are here bonding with your teammates. You get to work more football. It’s football all day, and football all night. I think the bonding is the main thing.”
One of the things that excites Heyward about being back together isn’t just the bonding, it’s the potential the defense has and what it can accomplish in 2022.
“We have guys coming back who know what we’re supposed to do, know we can get better,” said Heyward. “I thought we brought in some guys who can really help out. Then there is a mixture of younger guys.
