‘Nick Goes Crazy When He Gets On The Grass’: Nick Herbig Gaining Respect From Patrick Peterson

Two preseason games, 2.5 sacks, a forced fumble and a ton of headlines generated for Pittsburgh Steelers rookie outside linebacker Nick Herbig.

It’s still early, but the Wisconsin product certainly looks the part on the field in the Black and Gold.

In the two preseason wins over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Buffalo Bills, Herbig has been the Steelers’ best player. The snap numbers aren’t all that high — just 40 total snaps in two games — but he’s making the most of his time on the field and is forcing his way into being a true rotational piece for the Steelers.
