You know what you don’t get penalized for? Playing with another player at your position who is really good. At least that’s how it’s supposed to go, even if it doesn’t always seem that way when the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Alex Highsmith is discussed since he plays across from T.J. Watt.
Granted, the majority of his sacks on the season have come in the two (of nine) games in which Watt also played. But he still has the fourth-most sacks in the NFL regardless of when and with whom they came. And Watt knows better than anybody where that production is coming from because he sees Highsmith every day.
