Ironhead, RIP
Craig “Ironhead” Heyward, the former University of Pittsburgh running back who bulldozed his way through a journeyman’s career in the NFL, died yesterday after a long bout with brain cancer. He was 39.
Sadly, apart from mentioning the strange irony of a man called “Ironhead” developing a brain tumor, all I can do here is point you this piece in The Onion as a tribute to Heyward’s all-too-brief moment in the sun.
