Nick Herbig, the Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker, reflects on his journey as the youngest of three brothers from Kauai, Hawaii, where his drive was fueled by the need to prove himself. His work ethic caught the attention of coaches and teammates after his standout season at Wisconsin.

Despite being undersized for his position, Herbig has made a name for himself with hard work and tenacity. Mentored by All-Pro T.J. Watt, he is set to take on a bigger role as injuries to teammates open opportunities. Herbig aims to be a well-rounded player, knowing that success in the NFL requires more than just pass rushing.
