Outside of the first-team offense, arguably the biggest star for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their preseason opener on Friday was rookie OLB Nick Herbig, who posted two sacks in his NFL debut. He’s rightfully garnered due attention for it, including from his fellow linebackers.
Though he didn’t play much himself, Alex Highsmith praised his protégé as the fourth-round pick battles for playing time behind him and T.J. Watt. “He went out there and balled out”, he said of Herbig, via the team’s website.
