After Making It A Point Of Emphasis, Alex Highsmith Feels His Get-Off Has Improved

Early this offseason, Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith said one thing he wanted to improve this offseason was his get-off. In an interview with the DVE Morning Show earlier this week, Highsmith said he thinks it’s gotten better over the summer.

“My get-off’s gotten better this year. I feel like I’ve been getting off the ball faster. Just continuing to refine my pass rush moves is something that I’ve tried to work on as well. But for me, it’s always about how fast I can get from here to that spot to beat the tackle as fast as I can.
