Cam Heyward, DL

Cam Heyward has been the leader of the Pittsburgh Steelers for many years now. His skills on a football field are known well but this player might be one of the best leaders the black and gold has ever seen. He continues to be a leader and mentor on the team by showing players what it means to be a Steeler. This leadership mentality would be huge for Team USA as they search for comradery. Many of these players will not have played together before this event so some things will need to be worked out so the players can find a way to quickly gel. Leadership by players like Heyward would be a huge step in the right direction.

Besides his leadership mentality, Heyward is an amazing player on the grass field in Pittsburgh. His grit and determination have led to his sheer force shown on the football field. He has been a great player ever since his role increased since coming out of Ohio State. He is a smart and instinctive player that never quits on a play. He will run down the field and chase people if necessary. He will do whatever it takes to win a football game. This would be a huge character guy that glues together this newly found team. Each ball club needs someone like Heyward that will help the team build chemistry while he goes out and produces on the field at a high level.
