This has been a bad year for the Pitt family. So many greats and family passing. Craig “Ironhead” Heyward is sadly the latest.
Statement from University of Pittsburgh Head Football Coach Dave Wannstedt:
“Craig Heyward truly ranks among the all-time greats in Pitt football history. I will always remember him as a tremendous player who had an irrepressible attitude on and off the field. We spoke just a few weeks ago and I was struck by the typical upbeat ‘Ironhead’ attitude he displayed despite his health. The thoughts and prayers of the entire Pitt family are with Craig’s loved ones during this time of sorrow.”
Heyward has been battling for his life for the last several years. All condolences to his family.
