Darrius Heyward-Bey

Grade C

This seven year veteran will have to step up with the absence of Martavis Bryant, who is serving a year long suspension for second offense of drug policy. In his third year with the Steelers, Heyward-Bey will be looking to be targeted a lot more than his first two.

Like every team they have that next man up mentality andBeylikely be that next man up. His 6-2 frame gives Big Ben that big target and he has the speed to match it. Being a veteran on the team means stepping up and helping the younger guys. Age might be his only downfall at this point.

3more years with the best organization in the NFL.Thanks for all the love and support. Now let's work!#KillerBeespic.twitter.com/EDUmIyktAV
