If the start to his third NFL season is any indication, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker Nick Herbig is a star in the making.
Introduced as the 12th starter Sunday ahead of the Steelers’ Week 6 matchup against the Cleveland Browns at Acrisure Stadium, Herbig lived up to it, sacking Browns rookie QB Dillon Gabriel twice. He also should have had an interception in the win, too.
Herbig leads the Steelers with 4.5 sacks and has 20 pressures on the season. He’s gone from a designated pass rusher into a bona fide starter, one who can play in all situations.
