The Pittsburgh Steelers seemed to have found a future star in edge rusher Nick Herbig.
Taken in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin, Herbig made the most of his snaps as a rookie. He had three sacks, two forced fumbles, and a fumble recovery in his first season, as well as five tackles for loss.
This type of production earned Herbig the praise of Connor Orr, who listed the former Badger as one of the NFL’s most underrated players.
“Mostly a rotational player, Herbig may have led the league last year in plays made where someone quickly pulls out their phone to Google: Who the hell is this guy?
