Having connections never hurts when you’re looking for a job with the Pittsburgh Steelers. For 2023 fourth-round pick Nick Herbig, he already had his brother on the roster, and multiple former teammates and alumni from the University of Wisconsin.
That list includes T.J. Watt, a 2016 graduate who was the Steelers’ first-round pick in 2017. Herbig has had the opportunity to communicate with him for the past couple of years already, including a little one-on-one session during the Badgers’ Pro Day in 2022. Now on the same field, it’s at a whole other level.
“Now that I get the chance to pick his brain even more, it’s just unthinkable”, he recently told reporters, via the team’s website.
