Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith turned in a solid performance Sunday night in the team’s overtime win against the Seattle Seahawks as the former third round draft pick out of Charlotte recorded seven total tackles, 1.5 sacks, four quarterback hits and two tackles for loss. Not only that, but Highsmith also played every defensive snap Sunday night against the Seahawks despite the game going into overtime.
On Monday, Highsmith was asked during his media session if the plan going into Sunday’s game was for him to play every defensive snap, 65 in total.
“I just wanted to go out there and, you know, do the best that I could when I was in,” Highsmith said.
