One day after being named a free agent the Steelers “can’t afford to lose,” by Pro Football Focus, DT Armon Watts is featured on another PFF article. This time, as the “most improved” player on the roster.
Watts was brought in during free agency in 2023 on a one-year deal. He spent 2022 with the Chicago Bears and the previous three seasons with the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings drafted him in 2019 in the sixth round. He has had some seasons where he has been more productive than in 2023, but according to PFF the quality of his play took a jump in Pittsburgh in the limited snaps he received.
