Alex Highsmith’s draft weekend trip to Mexico wasn’t just about drinking tequila and eating authentic Mexican food (though to be clear, it was also about that). Invited south of the border in late April, Highsmith hung out with former Pittsburgh Steelers’ outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley, spending a couple days going on tours, running a flag football tournament, and announcing the team’s fourth round pick who turned out to be Nick Herbig.
But Highsmith took advantage of the chance to spend time with Woodley, a great Steelers’ pass rusher in his prime, to pick his brain and learn everything possible that he could apply to his game in 2023.
