PITTSBURGH — Now that Ben Roethlisberger has retired, Cam Heyward is the undisputed veteran leader in the Steelers locker room. And the latter made clear Wednesday that he’s not fond of the former’s recent public critiques of his ex-teammates.
Roethlisberger bemoaned the “me-type attitude” of younger players in an exclusive interview with the Post-Gazette last week, arguing that it’s a result of them being “coddled” at a young age by college coaches whose only interest is winning.
That prompted an unambiguous response from the Steelers’ defensive captain Wednesday on his podcast, “Not Just Football with Cam Heyward.”
