Passaic High School will retire Craig "Ironhead" Heyward's #34 jersey during a pre-game ceremony on September 30th prior to the Indians game against Bloomfield.
Heyward died on May 27th in his home in Georgia following a long battle with a recurring brain tumor. At Passaic, Heyward ran for a school-record 5,142 yards and 75 touchdowns. He also led the school to three state sectional championships from 1980-83.
Heyward went on to play at the University of Pittsburgh and then became a first-round draft choice of the New Orleans Saints in 1988. He played for five NFL teams in 11 seasons before a chordoma cut his career short in 1998.
