Javon Hargrave Thought Steelers Drafted T.J. Watt Due To Success Of Brother J.J. Until The Pads Came On

San Francisco 49ers DL Javon Hargave was a guest on Cameron Heyward’s Not Just Football podcast, and Hargrave talked about his admiration and respect for Steelers OLB T.J. Watt. It wasn’t always that way though, as Hargrave, when he was a member of the Steelers, thought the team just drafted Watt due to his brother J.J.’s pedigree.

“I love looking at T.J. from a distance. Just seeing how much he done grown to when he first came in, we just sitting there thinking ‘oh, they just drafted him cause his brother,’ like they just drafted him cause JJ his brother,” Hargrave said.
