T.J. Watt is still the straw that stirs the drink for the Pittsburgh Steelers, making their team infinitely better when he’s on the field. However, while he led the league in sacks last year, he failed to capture a second Defensive Player of the Year award. Instead, Myles Garrett of the Cleveland Browns won, infuriating Steelers fans even more. Former offensive lineman Justin Pugh agrees that Garrett is the better overall player, but does believe Watt is superior in some areas.
Pugh played guard in the NFL from 2013 to 2023, starting over 100 games for both the New York Giants and Arizona Cardinals.
