Alex Highsmith News
The Pittsburgh Steelers signed edge rusher Alex Highsmith to a four-year, $68 million contract extension on Wednesday before the start of training camp, according to his agents. The deal gives Highsmith over $27.7 million in guarantees and $38 million over the first two years of the new contract. The 25-year-old linebacker was fantasy relevant in IDP leagues last year with a career-high 14.5 sacks, 63 tackles (38 solo), 12 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits and a league-leading five forced fumbles in 17 starts in his third NFL campaign. Having All-Pro linebacker T.J. Watt next to him on the field only makes Highsmith more dangerous.
The Pittsburgh Steelers selected Charlotte edge rusher Alex Highsmith with the No. 102 overall pick in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft on Friday night. Highsmith is a high-motor pass rusher that uses effort, energy and hand skills to succeed as a power rusher on the edge. Look for the Steelers to work with him to build muscle on his frame and to refine his pass-rushing techniques as a designated pass rusher at the next level. Don't expect him to contribute much right away to a Steelers Defense that is quietly already nasty in the pass-rush department, but he's a nice long-term prospect at 6-foot-3, 248 pounds.
