How is Alex Highsmith performing this season?
Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith is having a solid year in 2023 and is on track to set career highs in a few statistical categories. Highsmith is a vital part of Mike Tomlin's stingy defense and an undisputed starter on the playoff-chasing Steelers.
Ahead of the 2023 season, Highsmith signed a four-year, $68 million contract extension with the franchise. He has lived up to his side of the deal, even getting an AFC Defensive Player of the Week.
Highsmith has a 2023 stat line of 53 combined tackles, 6.0 sacks, 16 quarterback hits, two forced fumbles and one pick in 14 games. Highsmith recently helped the Steelers beat the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 16, keeping his team's slim postseason hopes alive for at least a few days.
The Steelers look primed for another winning season under Mike Tomlin in 2023.
