By its nature, football is a violent game. It’s a sport that involves grown men running into each other, with injuries always likely to happen. Despite that, there’s still a level of respect among most players. However, that doesn’t include everyone. For instance, in 2017, Tennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan disrespected T.J. Watt by spitting in his face during a game. Pieces of this story have floated around for years, but Lewan revealed Tuesday the full encounter.
“I had a situation against the Steelers, Thursday Night Football, with T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree,” Lewan said on his Bussin’ with the Boys podcast.
