The season that Pittsburgh Steelers’ star outside linebacker T.J. Watt is putting together is without a doubt worthy of the NFL’s Defensive Player of Year award, let alone some Most Valuable Player attention.
Through just 11 games, Watt has already set a career high with 16 sacks and has added 27 quarterback hits, 16 tackles for loss, four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries on the year.
His 16 sacks lead the NFL, which makes it all the more impressive that he’s been able to accumulate those numbers while also missing two games and parts of two more due to a groin injury.
