Commanders GM Adam Peters added an offensive lineman, Friday.
Many won't even recognize the name of the player the Commanders signed, but Nate Herbig is probably just fine with that reality. You see, Herbig played at Stanford and then wasn't even drafted. An undrafted free agent, he was signed by the Eagles in 2019 and proved himself, making the Eagles 53-man roster three consecutive seasons (2019-21).
Following a single season with the Jets (2022), he has been with the Steelers the last two seasons (2023-24). So, Herbig is probably not a big name in any fan base in which he has played. In his five NFL seasons, Herbig has played in 61 games, starting 30 at guard.
Playing in all 17 games in 2024 for the Steelers, Herbig managed to only start in two, and the Steelers offense was not exactly one of the league's elite offenses.
But Adam Peters has signed all 6-foot-4, 334 pounds of Herbig. He is being signed to provide the Commanders more NFL experienced depth at guard. Right guard Sam Cosmi will most likely be out a substantial amount of time, having torn an ACL in the January playoff win at Detroit. In addition, left guard Nick Allegretti was at times less than impressive during the 2024 season. So Peters is wanting to bring some more guards to camp to compete.
No, you don't know the name, but most Redskins fans didn't know the names of Ron Saul, Ray Brown, Raleigh McKenzie or Mark Schlereth either when they first came to Washington to play on the offensive line. Each spent quite a bit of time at guard, playing in anonymity, but each made their mark in time in the NFL.
So, we remind ourselves that Peters is building his roster right now...his 90-man roster that will report to training camp in July.
