It was awesome to see Pittsburgh Steelers rookie tight end Connor Heyward get his first NFL touchdown on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Atlanta is one of the former teams of Connor’s father, Craig “Iron Head” Heyward. It was also special for Conner to have his big brother Cameron there as a Steelers teammate.

Seems like it was pretty special for Cameron as well. After the Steelers’ 19-16 win, the elder Heyward took the podium in one of his dad’s Falcons jerseys and said he hadn’t talked to Connor about the touchdown yet but said he was glad the camera wasn’t on him when he scored, because he was a mess.
