Coming off of a dominant performance in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game against the Dallas Cowboys, Pittsburgh Steelers’ second-year outside linebacker Alex Highsmith isn’t getting too caught up in the hype that surrounds him ahead of the 2021 season.
Instead, the young linebacker is focusing on what he can control: Stacking good days at training camp and in the preseason, making sure he’s playing his best football come the start of the 2021 regular season.
Highsmith burst onto the scene Thursday night, ripping off his go-to inside spin move in the red zone, sacking Garrett Gilbert to help force the Cowboys to settle for a field goal.
