In the early portion of his career, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig could be described as a one-trick pony.
A guy that could rush the passer, but wasn’t a run defender and really only saw the field in passing situations.
He’s made drastic improvements this season and is proving he’s capable of being an every-down outside linebacker in the Steelers’ 3-4 scheme. He’s a dynamic pass rusher, one that creates splash consistently when he’s on the field.
Moving forward, Steelers defensive coordinator Teryl Austin is making it a point to get Herbig on the field as much as possible.
