I would like to note that in the weeks Highsmith was hurt, Herbig was 68th among edges in pressure rate, and in the weeks Highsmith was on the field Herbig jumped up to 25th.
Those four games are the ones he played the most snaps, and he was significantly less effective. He gets worn down.
Not a full time player imo.
The #Steelers and OLB Nick Herbig have agreed to a four-year, $100 million contract extension that includes $42 million in guaranteed money, per multiple reports.
