## Resource

Steelers’ defensive line is firing on all cylinders, with T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith dominating as the core, but the real story? Nick Herbig. Far from a backup, Herbig’s production is forcing coaches to rethink his role—especially with new schemes that could unleash him as a game-changing rotational force. With a big contract already in place, the Steelers don’t need to make him a starter to see his impact; his efficiency is too valuable to ignore, especially on a defense built to pressure QBs.
