"I was like BET imma hit him up." 🤣 @nickherbig_ | @_TJWatt https://t.co/xWaTlwxYRV Via @steelers on X

What happened: The Pittsburgh Steelers shared a lighthearted clip of edge rusher Nick Herbig recounting how he connected with star pass rusher T.J. Watt, quoting himself as saying "I was like BET imma hit him up." The post is offseason content highlighting the rapport between the two outside linebackers.

Why it matters: The clip lands amid offseason momentum for Herbig, who the team's own podcast feed framed around a new five-year deal. It also keeps a spotlight on Pittsburgh's edge tandem, pairing the ascending Herbig with the same T.J. Watt the Steelers spotlighted in their offseason hype push as the franchise builds into the 2026 season.

What to watch: Watch how the Herbig-Watt pairing translates to snaps and rotation when the Steelers open their 2026 training camp.
