Entering Year 2 in the NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig continues to soak up every little bit of knowledge he can from fellow Steelers pass rusher and Wisconsin Badger T.J. Watt.
Coming out of college, Herbig was working with Watt, even at the Wisconsin Pro Day. Getting the chance to play with him in the NFL with the Steelers has been a huge boost for Herbig, who has had a front-row seat to greatness.
And not just on the field.
While appearing on the “Irish Steelers Podcast” Herbig said that he has actually learned more off the field from Watt than he has on the field, which is saying something considering that Herbig appears on the cusp of a breakout in Year 2 as a pass rusher.
