And now on the eve of training camp, he's paid.
The Steelers are at the end of a youth movement on a defense that is trying to reinvent itself. Heyward is a key part of the process. He set a career-high in 2014 and tied for the team lead with 7.5 sacks as the Steelers won the AFC North title. Pittsburgh did it, however, in spite of a defense that slipped to 18th in yards allowed and 27th against the pass thanks in part to a pass rush that struggled to generate consistent pressure.
That step included making sure Heyward stuck around. The powerful 6-foot-5,Nike NFL Jerseys China, 280-pound Heyward steadily improved during each of his first four seasons, becoming one of the few consistent producers on a defense that struggled at times getting to the quarterback. Pittsburgh finished 26th in the league with just 33 sacks, a number Heyward expects to rise in 2015.
And now Tuitt will have plenty of time to do it. Heyward joins a core that includes Roethlisberger, center Maurkice Pouncey and wide receiver Antonio Brown,Wholesale Jerseys China, all of whom are signed through at least the 2017 season as Pittsburgh tries to get back to its status as one of the NFL's elite franchises. Last season's late surge to a playoff berth was a start, but not the finish.
Heyward agreed to a new six-year contract Thursday worth nearly $60 million that will keep him in Pittsburgh through 2020. The 26-year-old posted a picture of him signing the deal on Twitter with the caption "I love this organization,Wholesale Jerseys Online." He later tweeted "never know how much it means 2 stay a Steeler,Wholesale Football Jerseys."
No matter how he was asked, the defensive end always gave a variation of the same answer: "I'm good."
Heyward's future never really was in doubt. The Steelers exercised their fifth-year option on his rookie deal last spring and nailing him down long-term became a priority once quarterback Ben Roethlisberger agreed to a contract extension in March.
Maybe, though Thursday's signing makes Heyward an integral part of a group hoping to rediscover its tenacity in 2015 and beyond.
"If I can become a double-digit sack guy or just take up a lot of attention so other guys get pressure, that's fine," he said. "The front seven has to dominate and we all have to be a part of it. We have to be interchangeable."
Changes came quickly in the offseason. Hall of Fame defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau left and was replaced by linebackers coach Keith Butler. Longtime defensive end Brett Keisel, who served as Heyward's mentor, was released while safety Troy Polamalu and cornerback Ike Taylor retired.
"I think a lot of younger guys took a lot of big steps this year,Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping," Heyward said after a wild-card loss to Baltimore in January. "We have to continue to make steps if we want to make the ultimate goal."
"'He definitely is next in line," Tuitt said during minicamp in June. "We all look up to him to become better."
The son of former NFL running back Craig Heyward — who played in college at Pittsburgh — grew up with a special affinity for the Steelers. He understands better than most how the team embraces continuity. As the leading edge of the next wave,Cheap NFL Jerseys Supply, Heyward has taken second-year end Stephon Tuitt under his wing in much the same way Keisel, Casey Hampton and Aaron Smith did for him.
