At this point in his career, it’s no secret that Pittsburgh Steelers’ star outside linebacker T.J. Watt is one of the best — if not the best — defenders in the NFL. Denver Head Coach Sean Payton agrees.
Watt proved that again in Week 1 against the Atlanta Falcons, wrecking the game from start to finish, even with some calls from officials going against him.
Now, entering Week 2 against the Denver Broncos, Watt has a chance to wreck another game, this time against a rookie quarterback behind a relatively shaky offensive line.
Broncos head coach Sean Payton, who spoke to reporters Wednesday, knows just how great Watt is and credited him with being an “exceptionally smart” player.
