Through three games, third-year Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Alex Highsmith is turning in a star performance, leading the NFL in sacks with 4.5, 3.0 of which came in the Week 1 win on the road over the Cincinnati Bengals in overtime.
Without star pass rusher T.J. Watt opposite him, Highsmith’s play hasn’t dipped at all, continuing to generate pressure off the edge for the Steelers while continuing to play the run at a high level next to star defensive tackle Cameron Heyward.
At this point, Alex Highsmith's success with his inside spin move against Browns' LT Jedrick Wills is absurd.
