Alex Highsmith Is Playing Himself Into A Hefty Pay Raise After Fast Start

Four games into the 2022 season, Pittsburgh Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith is already halfway to the goal he set for himself prior to the season.

As soon as the 2021 season ended, Highsmith made it known that he wanted to hit the double-digit sack mark, a goal he set for himself last season, but fell short of having logged six QB takedowns last season. Thanks to an impressive Week 1 where Highsmith logged three sacks against the Cincinnati Bengals, he is well on his way of crushing ten total sacks on the season as he currently sits at 5.
