ESPN Projects Alex Highsmith, Not T.J. Watt, To Lead Steelers In Sacks

Fresh off of a season in which he led the NFL in sacks for a record third time in his career with 19.0 on the season, Pittsburgh Steelers’ star outside linebacker T.J. Watt is poised for another big season in the Black and Gold.

He has the chip on his shoulder of being snubbed for yet another NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, losing out to Cleveland’s Myles Garrett despite having better numbers across the board.

Entering his age 30 season, Watt is on a Hall of Fame pace and should once again be one of the best pass rushers in football.
