Alex Highsmith has been in the starting lineup for the Pittsburgh Steelers for five games now. The game that he just played today was perhaps his best yet since taking over for Bud Dupree, who suffered a season-ending knee injury several weeks ago, recording a career-high nine tackles and registering his second sack of the season.
It was one of a number of pressures for the third-round pick out of Charlotte on the day, working primarily against rookie top-10 pick Jedrick Wills at left tackle for the Cleveland Browns, who has had a very good rookie season for himself.
