The Pittsburgh Steelers had an embarrassment of riches at pass rusher in 2024, and they only got deeper with fourth-round rookie Jack Sawyer. The top backup will continue to be Nick Herbig, which is a great situation for Pittsburgh. According to The 33rd Team’s Steve Palazzolo, he’s not only the best backup in the league, but would likely start on many teams in the league.
“Nick Herbig is edge rusher one for a lot of teams around the NFL and he’s EDGE3,” Palazzolo said via Check The Mic on YouTube.
There are plenty of teams that struggle to field a solid tandem of pass rushers, let alone the three or four that Pittsburgh now has.
