Nick Herbig joins Just Football to celebrate his massive $100 million contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Nick breaks down the moment he found out the deal was done, what it means to be a Steeler for life, and the role his big brother played in shaping his career. He opens up about learning from TJ Watt and Alex Highsmith, the intense Wisconsin summer workouts, his growing sack totals, and the mental stress of the contract negotiation process. Plus, Nick talks Aaron Rodgers, his Hawaii roots, the "Area 51" nickname, and plays a Steelers-only 20-0 Draft game to close things out.
