Alex Highsmith already has two AFC Defensive Player of the Week awards under his belt and has had a few multi-sack games in his career, establishing himself as a great player in the NFL.
But what he did on Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at Acrisure Stadium in the 17-10 win was quite remarkable. In fact, it was a career day for the former third-round pick who has developed into a star-level pass rusher.
Highsmith, according to the NFL’s Next Gen Stats, generated a single-game career high of 11 pressures against Baltimore’s Lamar Jackson, giving him a league-leading 30 pressures on the season through the early window of games on Sunday.
