‘First Time I’m Actually Smart About It:’ T.J. Watt Gradually Ramping Up Offseason Workouts

Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt’s season ended early with sprained MCL in his knee, and he’s not in any major rush to get back to full speed. In an interview with Pardon My Take, Watt said he’s not “grinding” and for the second offseason in a row, he’s being smart and taking his time to ramp up to full speed.

“It’s like a slow ramp, last year and this year is the first time I’m actually smart about it. I’m not grinding right now. I’m like kind of a slow build. So it makes a lot more sense,” Watt said.
