Cam Heyward - Son of late Craig "Ironhead" Heyward - NFL Draft

Cam Heyward (Ohio State) 6’5” 294 lbs DE

The son of the late Craig "Ironhead" Heyward who terrorized linebackers for years by brutally using his head as a battering ram.  While Cam plays on the other side of the ball, they have a similar mentality says Cam "We were both guys who just loved to pound".

Cam Heyward hallmark is his performances in big games and is projected to go late in round 1 of the NFL Draft.  Some scouts have him going in the top 15.  Could be great value pick if he slides after undergoing an ulnar collateral ligament surgery – commonly known as Tommy John surgery – on Jan. 12.  Heyward won’t be able to work out for pro scouts in Indianapolis.  His pro day is March 30.

Heyward has the size to play DT in 4-3 alignment and athleticism to play DE in 3-4 alignment.  He was a leader on a great Ohio State defense that helped the Buckeyes win four straight Big Ten titles.
