Las Vegas Raiders offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson wants to get back at Pittsburgh Steelers star defensive end Cam Heyward.
Heyward forced Powers-Johnson to surrender the first sack of his NFL career, and he says that is the first sack he has ever allowed.
After the play, Heyward had ‘choice words’ for the rookie, who put in a strong campaign after being selected out of Oregon.
Now, he hopes to see Heyward again at some point in his career.
“I’d say playing against Cam Heyward and giving up my first sack - ever, in my entire life,” Powers-Johnson said on “The Rush” podcast. “I would have to say that. He didn’t beat me, I beat myself. I beat myself, I overset. And he got me, and said some choice words after, and I really hope he comes back for another year. That’s all I’m gonna say.”
The Steelers and Raiders do not play this season, and while Heyward is set to play in 2025, it is unknown if he will come back in 2026. Heyward has two years left on his contract, so he could choose to play that one out.
Even still, they will not be guaranteed to play the Raiders, but they could if both teams finish in the same spots in their respective divisions.
