"Maybe not as good a story as the Pouncey twins, but the Steelers played their own game of all in the family when they drafted Ohio State defensive end Cameron Heyward on the first round of the NFL draft tonight. He follows in the shoes of his father, Craig "Ironhead" Heyward, a Pitt running back who also was drafted in the first round, by the New Orleans Saints at No. 24 in 1988. His mother, Charlotte Heyward-Blackwell, is a Pittsburgh native. When their turn came at No. 31, the Steelers also had a choice of going after one of the top tackles in Mississippi State's Derek Sherrod or one of the top cornerbacks in Aaron Williams of Texas. Heyward is the second defensive end drafted on the first round by the Steelers in the past three. They took Ziggy Hood No. 1 in 2009. The Steelers chances to get one of their more highly rated prospects improved when four quarterbacks were drafted in the first dozen picks, two more than almost anyone predicted. A handful of other picks -- Seattle's choice of guard/tackle James Carpenter, Kansas City picking Pitt wide receiver Jon Baldwin and New Orleans taking running back Mark Ingram -- also aided the Steelers."
