"Steelers' Nate Herbig: A Promising Addition to the Offensive Line"

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed Nate Herbig, a versatile interior lineman who excels in the running game. Herbig has played for the Eagles and Jets, starting 28 games in his career. He offers position flexibility, having played at right guard, left guard, and center. With the Steelers' starting offensive linemen missing less than 100 combined snaps in 2022, Herbig is expected to compete for a starting role at left guard and become the top backup at both guard spots. This signing signals the Steelers' intent to continue running the ball in 2023.

Steelers bolster offensive and defensive lines with free agent signings.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have signed interior offensive lineman Nate Herbig to a two-year, $8 million deal. Herbig, who started 12 games for the New York Jets at right guard last season, brings a strong run-blocking ability and a "nasty" mentality to the Steelers' offensive line. While he needs to improve his pass protection, Herbig's versatility and experience make him a valuable addition to the team's trenches. He will compete with Kevin Dotson for the starting job at left guard in training camp.
