Robyn Herbig, the proud mother of the three talented sons serves as the backbone of the Herbig family. Whether it was on the field or off the field, Herbig’s mom was deeply involved in his development. Both Nick and Nate have credited their parents for instilling ethics and discipline that got them where they are today.

When her youngest son joined Nate with the Steelers, Robyn stated, “When they played together when they were little, it was an off-island thing and I didn’t go with them. So, this is the first time I get to see them play together on the same team, which is wild to me.”

She even shared the image uploaded by the Pittsburgh team, celebrating the two brothers as a part of their locker room. It’s safe to say Mama Herbig is happy the brother joined the same team.
