‘That’s My Best Friend’: Nick Herbig Recalls Keeanu Benton’s First Sack Against Raiders

Every single moment in the NFL is special for young players, especially rookies.

They are living out lifelong dreams daily.

For Pittsburgh Steelers second-year outside linebacker Nick Herbig, one moment stands out above the rest from his rookie season, and it’s not even one he was truly involved in.

During an interview with Prospect Media on YouTube, Herbig recalled his most memorable moment from his rookie season, and it occurred in Week 3 on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday Night Football.

It was fellow Wisconsin Badgers product Keeanu Benton’s first career sack, taking down Las Vegas QB Jimmy Garoppolo, which just so happened to occur with Herbig on the field.
