Nick Herbig's breakout couldn’t be worse for the Steelers' front office

The Pittsburgh Steelers entered this season with their edge depth chart as one of the best on paper. T.J. Watt was just paid and is a perennial defensive MVP candidate. Alex Highsmith is a stalwart second edge rusher who is great against the run.

Not only were the starters great, but the depth is equally great. Nick Herbig has proven to be an explosive sack artist, while Jack Sawyer, while unproven, has untapped upside.

While we have seen Watt play his usual dominant football and Highsmith continue his steady play, Herbig has been a true standout.
