DUBLIN -- Welcome to the Nick Herbig show, happening at right outside linebacker.
The Pittsburgh Steelers , like they always seem to do, appear to have another star pass rusher. Herbig has been nothing short of a game-wrecker since he took over for Alex Highsmith , who is suffering from a high ankle sprain.
In the two and a half games since that moment, Herbig has 2.5 sacks, eight quarterback hits, and 14 pressures. Over the seven games he has started in his Steelers career, he has five sacks, 13 quarterback hits, four forced fumbles, and four tackles for loss.
He has been nothing short of a splash play machine in his limited opportunities with one of the quicker get offs in the NFL with an average get off time of .77 seconds, according to Next Gen Stats.
