Back in May, the Jets quietly made a waiver claim on a little-known offensive lineman named Nate Herbig, who had been released by the Eagles and figured to be an insurance backup.
Six games ago, Herbig quietly was inserted into the Jets’ starting lineup at right guard, after injuries caused them to rearrange their front five. His impact for the Jets, however, has been anything but.
Herbig’s tenacious play completely defies the person he projects himself as off the field, which is baby-faced, shy and docile. Mention Herbig’s name to Jets players and coaches and it always elicits a smile. With Herbig playing so well and Vera-Tucker, who started at three different positions this season, so versatile, that might be too late.
Nate’s younger brother, Nick, is an All-American junior linebacker at Wisconsin. His older brother, Jake, is a UX and UI tech designer.Bruce Herbig, a retired high school counselor, spoke to The Post over the phone from home in Hawaii on Friday and described his boys as “uber competitive, and I was right there with them.’’“I never let them win anything,’’ he said. “They had to earn it. I still don’t think they’ve won anything from me. I don’t like to lose.
That’s when he was taken in by Eagles tackle Lane Johnson, who has a detached barn at his home outside of Philadelphia equipped with state-of-the-art workout equipment, and a trainer named Gabe Rengel, a former Marine. Bruce recalled a high school teacher of Nate’s once calling him and saying, “I think your son’s cheating.’’“Because he didn’t write down any of his formulas and he got the right answers,’’ the teacher responded. Baldinger also marveled at Herbig’s physical ability.
