In the first true showing of the rebuilt outside linebacker room for the Pittsburgh Steelers, the perceived four that will make the 53-man roster in T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith, Markus Golden and rookie Nick Herbig all looked strong in Saturday’s 27-15 win over the Buffalo Bills at Acrisure Stadium.
Highsmith had some pressures, Watt looked like, well, T.J. Watt with the amount of offensive attention he drew in a few snaps from the Bills’ starters, and Herbig continues to wreck the NFL in the preseason. The guy that flew under the radar with a rather strong performance Saturday night – which is something he’s done his entire career to this point — was Golden.
