Pittsburgh Steelers third year EDGE rusher Alex Highsmith is having a breakout year. On the season Highsmith has registered 12 sacks, five forced fumbles, and 32 total tackles. In November, he was named Defensive Player of the Week for the first time in his career after a standout performance against the New Orleans Saints where he recorded two sacks, five tackles, and a forced fumble. A truly dominate performance.
In a Wednesday transcript provided by the Baltimore Ravens, head coach John Harbaugh was asked about Highsmith and what kind of a game wrecker he is.
“What a year he’s had,” Harbaugh marveled.
