AFC Notes: Cameron Heyward, Nyheim Hines, Browns, Ravens, Steelers

Browns

Browns RB Nyheim Hines elected to sign with Cleveland because he felt it was a great match for him in the passing game. 

โ€œI think it was a great fit just because of the passing game, first off, I know that was something Cleveland was looking forward to, getting a back and getting guys who were explosive in space and then the returner opportunity. The returners have been in and out thereโ€™s been a lot of different returners over the years, at least for the past couple years. What Iโ€™ve seen when we played them and Bubba was here, so I know, Bubbaโ€™s probably one of. Bubba and Ken (Dorsey) are probably the two biggest reasons Iโ€™m here, so Iโ€™m thankful for that and thankful to be here,โ€ Hines said, via BrownsWire.

  • Browns WR Elijah Moore talked about competition with WR Jerry Jeudy and the others in the receiver room: โ€œIโ€™ve been invited by competition my whole lifeโ€ฆ I ainโ€™t never shy from nothing. Iโ€™m from Florida so thatโ€™s not nothing that Iโ€™m ever afraid of. If anything, that opens us up which you guys donโ€™t realize. Iโ€™m excited about what we got.โ€ (Cleveland.comโ€™s YouTube)

Ravens

  • Ravens HC John Harbaugh mentioned LB David Ojabo will likely move on to teamwork during training camp after only doing individual work in his knee surgery recovery. (Jeff Zrebiec)
  • Baltimore CB Brandon Stephens is heading into the final year of his rookie deal but heโ€™s not worried about an extension despite having little talks about a new deal. (Zrebiec)
  • First-round CB Nate Wiggins called time management the biggest lesson heโ€™s learned throughout the early parts of the offseason. (Zrebiec)

Steelers

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin admitted that heโ€™s not overly concerned about DL Cameron Heywardโ€˜s absence during OTAs.

โ€œIโ€™m not overly concerned, to be quite honest with you,โ€ Tomlin said, via PFT. โ€œCam is a guy with over 10,000-plus career snaps. I know Cam very well. Weโ€™ve shared a lot of experiences over the years. He and I talk often. As a matter of fact, we talked twice yesterday. That is not an irregular thing. Itโ€™s what we always do. We talk about not only where he is and whatโ€™s going on with him, but where this team is. As a leader, he needs information in that regard.โ€

  • Heyward shut down rumors of him calling it a career: โ€œIโ€™m not retiring anytime soon.โ€ (Allison Koehler)
