The Pittsburgh Steelers flashed on offense in last night’s 27-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but several defensive players also stood out during the contest. One of those was rookie OLB Nick Herbig, who popped in a big way, making three total tackles, a tackle for loss, and 1.5 sacks on the night.
Herbig flashed speed off the edge as a pass rusher, getting to the quarterback with great burst off the snap as well as stringing together various pass rush moves. NFL analyst Brian Baldinger posted a video on Twitter after the game, commenting on Herbig’s performance while highlighting several of his plays from Friday night.
