Excitement continues to build around the Pittsburgh Steelers after a major weekend for the team. Head coach Mike Tomlin thrilled Ohio State fans by selecting quarterback Will Howard and star pass-rusher Jack Sawyer during the draft. The reunion of Howard and Sawyer is generating plenty of buzz, and the good news for Sawyer doesn’t stop there.
Tomlin shared that he spoke with Ohio State legend Cam Heyward about bringing Sawyer into the Steelers defense. Even better, Sawyer revealed that Heyward has already reached out to welcome him to Pittsburgh, offering mentorship and support. Having the chance to learn from Tomlin and a veteran like Heyward is a dream scenario for Sawyer.
Tomlin praised Sawyer, noting he has “Steelers DNA” and is “Cam Heyward-endorsed.” Heyward, who made a name for himself at Ohio State before becoming a first-round pick in 2011, has spent his entire 14-year NFL career with Pittsburgh. Preparing for his 15th season, Heyward remains a key figure in the organization and is eager to mentor the incoming rookie.
Sawyer’s time at Ohio State ended on a high note, helping the Buckeyes capture a National Championship. His unforgettable performance against Texas in the semifinals will be celebrated for years to come. A fan favorite in Columbus, Sawyer now embarks on an exciting new chapter in his football career.
Joining the Steelers alongside his former teammate Howard, and receiving guidance from a respected veteran like Heyward, offers Sawyer a promising start. With strong support on and off the field, the young defender is well-positioned to make a smooth transition to the NFL and continue building on his college success.
