Refresh my memory. Who were the Steeler’s gadget guys in the 70’s and why have we been looking for one the last few decades?

Well, I reject the premise of this argument. Heidenreich is a little closer to Kenny Gainwell or Christian McCaffery than he is a gadget guy. Navy runs a unique offense, obviously, but that doesn't mean he's a gadget guy. He is a quality RB, with good size, underrated blocking ability, and a slot receiver type route running nuance and receiving skills.
