2023 Fantasy Outlook
Herbig spent three collegiate seasons at Wisconsin and tallied 47 tackles (33 solo), 11 sacks and two pass defenses during his final year with the Badgers in 2022. He was selected by the Steelers in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft and will likely have to compete with Markus Golden for snaps behind T.J. Watt as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks
Another pass rusher in Pittsburgh
The Steelers selected Herbig in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.
ANALYSIS
The Steelers added another pass-rushing linebacker from Wisconsin. Herbig is definitely undersized, but he tallied 20 sacks and 30 tackles for a loss over the past two seasons, routinely creating plays in opposing backfields. The edge rusher joins his brother, offensive lineman Nate Herbig, who signed a deal with the Steelers earlier this offseason.

Will help fill in for Watt
Herbig is expected to play a more substantial role at outside linebacker with T.J. Watt sidelined by a knee injury for Sunday's game against Buffalo, Brooke Pryor of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The absence of Watt will be a significant blow for the Steelers' chances of pulling off an upset. While inexperienced, Herbig has shown flashes of productivity in his rookie season, tallying three sacks and forcing two fumbles on only 181 defensive snaps. His biggest sample in a single game came in Week 14 against New England when he played 44 defensive snaps and delivered seven tackles.
