It’s not often you’ll hear opposing players say that they were glad to go against Pittsburgh Steelers star outside linebacker and future Hall of Famer T.J. Watt, but that was the case Sunday for Atlanta Falcons running back Bijan Robinson.
Speaking to reporters after the Falcons’ 18-10 loss to the Steelers open the season, Robinson said that he’s glad they got such a good test in Watt so early in the season.
“They were bringing pressure; they got a very talented player in Watt, and he brought some pressure, and we were trying to just contain him, but I think it was really good that we had him first game,” Robinson said, according to video via the Falcons’ YouTube page.
