Coming off of the 2024 season that ended in disappointment and saw him finish with goose eggs in the stats department in back-to-back weeks, Pittsburgh Steelers’ star outside linebacker and future Hall of Famer T.J. Watt stated to reporters Monday that he needs to be more open to moving around defensively to maximize his impact.

The 2024 season was a relatively down year for Watt, who had just 11.5 sacks and 53 pressures. However, he did lead the league in forced fumbles with six and remained an impact player against the run even when teams were scheming ways to take him out of the passing game with chips and slides.
