The younger Heyward finished the 2021 campaign with 35 catches for 326 yards and two touchdowns for the Spartans. It was his most productive receiving season, although he started as a running back at Michigan State and had 529 yards and five scores on the ground in 2018.

His brother has set the bar high in Pittsburgh as a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro who helps anchor the defense.

Now they will both be chasing an AFC North crown together in 2022.
