It was a bit of a surprise when the Pittsburgh Steelers took Wisconsin EDGE Nick Herbig in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and kept him at outside linebacker, but it’s a decision that’s paid off and then some for the Steelers. As a rookie backing up T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith, Herbig burst onto the scene with 27 tackles, three sacks and two forced fumbles, and followed that campaign up with an impressive 2023, with 5.5 sacks and four forced fumbles in 13 games and five starts. PFF’s Jonathon Macri writes that Herbig is the Steelers’ most underrated player.
