It’s fair to argue OLB T.J. Watt is the most valuable Pittsburgh Steeler on the roster, even moreso than QB Kenny Pickett. Numbers don’t lie. When Watt plays, the Steelers’ defense is a ferocious beast and Pittsburgh normally wins. When Watt sits out, the Steelers’ defense lays down with a whimper and Pittsburgh goes home losers.
