The Pittsburgh Steelers boast one of the best linebacker corps in the league with former Defensive Player of the Year T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, who led the NFL in forced fumbles a year ago.
But there’s also another player making quite the impression during training camp. Rookie Nick Herbig is building a case for legitimate playing time throughout the season with his play so far in the preseason.
The fourth-round linebacker is credited with four pressures, including 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble on 22 pass-rushing snaps, per PFF. Heading into preseason Week 3, Herbig has a 90.
