‘I’m Gonna Keep Coming:’ Chris Hoke Says T.J. Watt Doesn’t Get Frustrated Because He Knows He’ll Make Plays

Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt gets more attention than any other defensive player in the league when it comes to getting chipped and extra attention from the offense, but Watt isn’t one to shy away from the attention. Even though it may be frustrating for Watt, he never outwardly shows frustration, and former Steelers DT Chris Hoke called him a “true professional” and said that Watt knows he’s gonna wind up making plays anyway.

“T.J. Watt gets chipped. I mean, he gets crushed at times. ‘Cause you’re rushing the tackle trying to make a move to get on the quarterback, and you have a tight end that comes and just lights you up,” Hoke said.
