On Friday, Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Month for the month of November. That now makes twice this season he’s won the award as he also won it for the month of September. Watt seems to continually get better as an all-around defensive player and that’s not hard to write based on the stats he’s already posted this season. In short, it’s obvious. What’s not so obvious, however, is how Watt goes about getting better and better.
On Friday, Steelers defensive coordinator Keith Butler was asked to provide a reason for Watt’s continuous improvement and his answer was fantastic.
