At this point, Watt is a perennial contender for Defensive Player of the Year, is on pace to be the Steelers’ all-time sacks leader, and is currently on a pace for a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Ahead of the 2021 season, Watt continues to receive praise and overall attention, this time from NFL.com’s Brian Baldinger, who named Watt one of the top 10 players in the NFL for the upcoming season from the 2017 NFL Draft, which — in hindsight — is a loaded draft class overall.
