T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward poised to make Steelers history!

The Pittsburgh Steelers are fortunate to feature two of the toughest defensive players in the NFL on their roster, as both T.J. Watt and Cam Heyward call the Steel City home and have struck fear into the hearts of opposition offensive players for years now. 

And it won't be long before the two of them are officially etched into the team record books. They're both No. 2 and No. 3 respectively all time in Steelers history with sacks, chasing team legend James Harrison for the all time record. 

Heyward is only two sacks back of Harrison with a total of 78.5 sacks, while Watt is right behind the two of them with 77.5 sacks of his own. 

Speaking of Heyward, how much longer does he intend on playing? The veteran of 183 NFL games, all with the Steelers after being selected in Round 1 (pick No. 31) of the 2011 NFL Draft out of Ohio State, isn't getting any younger at age 34. 

“I use (the idea of retirement) just to give myself some space to really look at the situation,” Heyward said recently. “It’s not retirement. It’s more of a reflection, really just focusing on the seasons. Every year I got to focus on that, because I put so much into it. You need that time away to really stand back and see what’s happening and what you want to do.”

Heyward is a six-time Pro Bowler, while Watt has earned two Pro Bowl selections along with having recently won the Defensive Player of the Year award.
