Last season, Heyward had a career-high 83 tackles, along with 10 sacks, an interception, 15 tackles for a loss and 17 quarterback his.
"For a team that has defined consistency in not recording a losing record the past two decades, Heyward is a player who represents these ideals well, as you can count on him to be a solid presence on the defensive line year in and year out," NFL.com said.
Heyward is a three-time All-Pro and have been named to the Pro Bowl five times
The only other Steelers-related name to make the list (so far) is former running back James Conner, now with the Arizona Cardinals.
He came in at 80.
The top 20 has yet to believe. Linebacker T.J.

Another name that could possibly make the list is Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick.
