James Harrison might not have rubber-stamped T.J. Watt to surpass his Pittsburgh Steelers’ career sack record. But from first impression, Harrison thought Watt had a chance to be something special. In a Sunday Countdown interview that aired Sunday morning, ESPN’s Hannah Storm interviewed Harrison and learned his initial takeaways after the Steelers drafted Watt in 2017.
“My first impression of T.J. I was like, ‘yo, like this dude could really be unbelievable,” Harrison told Storm. “He’s just getting better at what he does.”
Watt’s been that and then some. He surpassed Harrison’s career sack mark last season and became the second-fastest player in official NFL history to record 100 sacks.
