“Good athlete with impressive movement skills” This was said about Nick Herbig in the Steelers’ scouting report. The team management paid close attention to the linebacker’s play and recognized the enormous potential in him. And since then, we’ve all seen how much the man was worth to the Steelers. While the man has had a significant impact on the NFL world, what about his personal life?

Where did Nick Herbig grow up?

The linebacker was born on November 21, 2001, in Kauai, Hawaii, United States. This makes him a proud American citizen. Nick was the third child of his parents, Bruce and Robyn Herbig. Nate Herbig and Jake Herbig are the linebacker’s two elder brothers. This meant that as he grew older, he had to prove himself in order to hang with the big kids.

While discussing all of this, Nick Herbig stated, “I was always the underdog.”The linebacker’s statement was extremely relevant given that his brother, Nate Herbig, also plays in the NFL. He, too, is a Steeler and plays offensive guard.

Nate Herbig was an undrafted free agent who started his career by signing with the Philadelphia Eagles after playing football at Stanford. And well, once his brother was ready to enter NFL, Nate ensured Nick will sign with the Pittsburgh team.

So, that was all about his family background and nationality, but what about his ethnicity?

What is the ethnicity of the linebacker and his brothers?

This question has a fairly apparent answer. After all, his entire family is from Hawaii, which plainly indicates that Nate Herbig is of Hawaiian descent. The family is quite close with each other, and everyone was overjoyed when Nick Herbig got drafted into the NFL. It was an unbelievable experience for them, and the linebacker talked about it frequently.

He revealed how his brothers were overjoyed, “My brother just gave me a hug and told me he loved me.” 

“As a parent, I would like to think that my husband and I are realists. Every kid says, ‘I want to be an NFL football player.’ And you’re like, ‘OK, right. Let’s get through second grade first.’ ‘Let’s try to make your all-star high school team’,” Robyn Herbig said. “We knew the boys loved the sport. It really started with Nate.”

Nick Herbig is a really talented player, and the Steelers have paid a premium for his play. Surprisingly, the team offered a contract for $4,512,920 that was four years. This means that the Steelers fans can see Herbig in their team at least till the 2026 season. The contract contains a signing bonus of $672,920, which was also the guaranteed amount. This was not it, as he will earn an average base pay of $1,128,230 per year.

But wait, there’s more. His total cap hit for the season is expected to be around $1,083,230. The dead cap value of a player is $504,690, which is the amount owed if they are cut. The linebacker is now prepping for the upcoming game against the Cleveland Browns. What are your expectations for the linebacker’s performance in week twelve? Do you think he can change the game for his team?
