One of the goals of “The Main Event with Andrew Marchand” is to understand the sports media business. How does a current All-Pro defensive lineman start preparing for a post-playing career in sports media. We spoke with the Steelers’ Cam Heyward about it. He even gave a time-table of when he may retire. Here is what else Marchand and Heyward talked about:
* What was it like growing up with Craig “Ironhead” Heyward as your father
* Why he didn’t become a running back like his dad
* Why he was an education major at Ohio State
* What it is the media like for an Ohio State player
