Pittsburgh Steelers OLB T.J. Watt has been one of the NFL’s most prolific pass rushers and one of the best defensive players in the NFL since entering the league as a first-round pick by the Steelers in 2017. Watt’s work ethic is second to none, and Mike Tomlin told a story on The Rich Eisen Show that foreshadowed the ethos Watt has shown in Pittsburgh.
“We flew into Madison, Wisconsin, the night before his Pro Day. In an effort to get to know him, you take him out to eat. We had some other people there, but really I was there to kind of get a feel for him,” Tomlin told Eisen.
