Steelers Cam Heyward is the NFL W.P. Man of the Year

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive lineman Cam Heyward was named the 2023 winner of the Walter Payton Man of the Year award at last night’s NFL Honors show. The award honors a player for on and off-field performance. Heyward is involved in numerous community charities, including his Heyward House Foundation. The award comes with a $250,000 donation to the charity of Heyward’s choice. He is the first Steeler to win the award since Jerome Bettis in 2001. A total of five Steelers players have now been honored: Franco Harris in 1976, Joe Greene in 1979 and Lynn Swann in 1981.
