New Steelers’ LB Joe Schobert Reminisces On Time With Watt Family At Wisconsin

When the Pittsburgh Steelers flipped a 2022 sixth-round draft pick to the Jacksonville Jaguars in early August for veteran standout linebacker Joe Schobert, the Steelers not only plugged a significant hole on the defensive side of the football, they also reunited some good friends once again.

Schobert joins T.J. and Derek Watt in the Steel City, rekindling friendships dating back to their days starring at the University of Wisconsin in the Big Ten.

Schobert played the same position as T.J. and helped develop the now-NFL star in college after Watt made the switch from tight end to outside linebacker as a sophomore.
