Connor Heyward wrapped up his career as running back at Michigan State University in 2021 and has his sights set on the NFL Draft. He's sometimes called the “Swiss Army Knife” because he's so versatile that he was able to play five different positions in high school including quarterback, receiver, running back, safety, and punter. Connor was able to play as a true freshman in 12 games at MSU where he led the team in kick returns for a total of 436 kick return yards and in the 2018 season, Connor had to step into some big shoes with an injury-riddled Spartan team. Connor played a multitude of positions from there on our, mostly running back and also played a decent number of snaps as a receiver. Conner sat down with 2aDays to offer some advice to the upcoming high school athletes who are looking to play at the next level.
