There’s always the important “Welcome to the NFL, Rookie” moment in the early stages of a player’s career.
That moment for Los Angeles Chargers’ rookie right tackle Joe Alt might come in Week 3 against the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road.
Alt will have to deal with 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award winner and future Hall of Famer T.J. Watt inside Acrisure Stadium, which promises to be a loud, raucous environment for the Steelers’ home opener on the North Shore.
For Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman, who is quite familiar with Watt, he had a simple message for his rookie right tackle ahead of the matchup with Watt.
