This season, the Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker room looks stacked. Obviously T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith are two superstar players, but now the team has more depth with Markus Golden and rookie Nick Herbig. Last night, Herbig saw his first NFL action and had a good performance, recording 1.5 sacks. After the Steelers’ 27-17 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their preseason opener, he praised the defensive veterans for helping him learn and grow.
“I’m just grateful for guys like T.J., Alex, and MG, Markus Golden,” said Herbig in his post-game interview, which was posted to Steelers.
