Tomlin, Rodgers and Heyward: Walking off the field tradition

Mike Tomlin and Cam Heyward walking off the field in tandem is a tradition that the Steelers head coach and veteran defensive captain have had for a while.

In 2025, the duo became a trio when they added quarterback Aaron Rodgers to the mix.

On Friday, Heyward detailed how that came to be.

“After we got that first win in New York, me and Mike T. had talked about it,” Heyward said. “He was like, ‘Let’s bring this old man along with us.’ We wanted to give him an experience of what it’s like to be a Pittsburgh Steeler, and welcome into that and show him that we’re with you along this ride. This journey, you don’t have to walk alone.
