J.J. Watt Says Steelers Got Good ‘Junk’ In New OLB Markus Golden

Over the weekend, we noted T.J. Watt had heard “nothing but good things” from J.J. Watt about new outside linebacker teammate Markus Golden. Golden and the oldest Watt brother spent the past two years in Arizona before J.J. retired and Golden signed a cheap, one-year deal with the Steelers late last week.

Golden got in his first practice with Pittsburgh Tuesday and spoke with reporters following practice, saying he was excited to get to play with both Watt brothers (sorry, Derek). In a response to ESPN Brooke Pryor’s tweet sharing Golden’s comments, J.J. tweeted about Golden, offering a ringing endorsement for the player and the man.
