Nate Herbig ‘Getting Better Every Day’ At Center, Trying To ‘Prove People Wrong’

Nate Herbig didn’t set out to take over the center position this offseason for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He didn’t make them release their starting center and talk him up as a legitimate replacement. Yet even with a rookie second-round pick in the building, that’s where he currently finds himself. The opportunity is in front of him, if he can claim it.

“I just showed up and that’s where they put me”, Herbig told reporters, via the team’s website, about playing center. Primarily a guard throughout his career, Herbig has also been a reserve center, including last year in Pittsburgh.
