WATCH: Connor Heyward gives rookie a huge hit

Connor Heyward SirVocea Dennis Michigan State NFL Spartans Steelers

Michigan State fans know Connor Heyward all too well, and especially know his physical nature on the playing field. Heyward played as both a running back and tight end during his time in East Lansing, and is now appearing to be carving himself a nice role in the NFL for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In the Steelers first preseason game, Heyward provided a clip worthy moment, drilling Tampa Bay Buccaneers linebacker SirVocea Dennis, giving him a “Welcome to the league” moment.
