Player: OL Nate Herbig
Stock Value: Up
Reasoning: Say what you will, but facts are facts. The Steelers completed spring practices and Nate Herbig was still taking the first-team reps at center. That’s not to say he is “holding off” rookie Zach Frazier, as the true competition has hardly begun. But it is also clear that the Steelers are serious about Herbig and his ability to play center. Perhaps they are even prepared to start him there if Frazier isn’t ready.
Let’s recall one basic fact before we move on: the Steelers liked Nate Herbig just fine when they signed him.
