Steelers star T.J. Watt receives high praise from Packers head coach Matt LaFleur

The rapid development of Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J.Watt over the past years has been a sight to see, which has also caught the attention of Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur.

After finishing second in the final vote for last season’s NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, Watt has simply picked up where he left off last year. The three-time Pro Bowler currently leads the Steelers in quarterback hits (6), sacks (3.0) and forced fumbles (2).

Ahead of the Packers’ upcoming home matchup against the Steelers, LaFleur has been closely watching film on Watt and remains star-struck at his ability to rush opposing quarterbacks with ease.
