WATCH: Former Wisconsin OLB Nick Herbig registers first career NFL sack
Former Wisconsin outside linebacker Nick Herbig joined the sizable group of former Badgers on the Steelers in April as they selected him in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The Steelers’ roster now includes him, T.J. Watt, Isaiahh Loudermilk and Keeanu Benton.
Herbig hadn’t done much through the team’s first five games of the season. He sat with just five total tackles entering the team’s Week 6 bye.

Herbig now has eight total tackles and the one sack through six games of his rookie season. If the preseason was any indication, we could see him making plays in a Steeler uniform for some time.
