​Despite being one of life’s most uncomfortable truths, change is necessary. The Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t really personify that mantra under former head coach Mike Tomlin, but veteran defensive tackle Cameron Heyward is ready to do whatever it takes to adapt as training camp rolls on.Speaking with reporters on Wednesday, Heyward issued a prehistoric warning: accepting change is mandatory.”The dinosaurs didn’t, and look what happened to them,” Heyward said about accepting change. “For me, I gotta embrace change. I always think after every year I gotta improve.”Heyward has truly lived up to this mindset over the past several years, as the veteran Steelers defensive tackle has almost been aging in reverse, earning First-Team All-Pro and Second-Team All-Pro honors in 2024 and 2025 for his stellar play.With a brand-new defensive scheme and overhauled roster heading into 2026, Heyward’s leadership will undoubtedly be more important than ever before. His willingness to adapt will go a long way in helping the rest of the new-look defense acclimate at training camp.For up-to-date Steelers coverage, including any training camp news or updates, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.This article originally appeared on Steelers Wire: Steelers DT Cameron Heyward sends prehistoric warning about resisting change
