If the preseason is any indication, Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year outside linebacker Nick Herbig is poised for a big 2024 season for the Black and Gold.
The only problem is, Herbig finds himself behind an elite outside linebacker in T.J Watt, and a Pro Bowl-caliber complement in Alex Highsmith on the other side. So, snaps will be limited for the Wisconsin product.
But that doesn’t matter to ESPN’s Seth Walder, who believes that the second-year pass rusher is poised for a breakout season and predicted that Herbig will record 7 sacks this season for the Steelers as that rotational depth piece.
