Nick Herbig is a feel-good story, joining the same team as his older brother Nate. In today’s first practice as a Pittsburgh Steeler, Herbig was naturally asked about that connection as the Steelers fit as many siblings on the roster as possible. But looking beyond that, Herbig is his own man. Nothing’s going to be given to him. And he’ll do all he can to make his mark on the franchise.
Speaking with reporters after today’s rookie minicamp practice, Herbig let the moment hit him that he’s in the NFL.
“Walking in this morning, looking around and seeing Ben Roethlisberger (picture) on the front, guys like Franco Harris,” he said via Steelers.
