One or two elite performances in a season can be a coincidence. We are well beyond that with Nick Herbig. PFF released its top five Steelers from Week 13 and Herbig headlined the list.
He’s in just his second season and only has five starts in the NFL, but Herbig is already among the league’s elite at outside linebacker.
For the fourth time in just eight games this season, Herbig registered an “elite” game grade over 90.0 from Pro Football Focus. He was graded as a 91.9 overall against the Bengals, including four total pressures, two tackles for loss, one sack, and a forced fumble.
