Rick Spielman Calls Nick Herbig ‘One Of The Best Collegiate Football Players That I Watched’

Former NFL GM Rick Spielman has gone the analyst route since his departure from the Minnesota Vikings, working with various outlets including CBS Sports for a draft podcast called With The First Pick. On a recent episode, Spielman and co-host Ryan Wilson broke down their favorite instant impact rookies for 2023, and Spielman named Pittsburgh Steelers fourth-round pick Nick Herbig as one of his.

“He is one of the best collegiate football players that I watched. They used him on the outside. I watched him against Ohio State, he has excellent pass rush ability off the edge,” Spielman said.
