‘Stepping Stone To The Next Phase:’ Ryan Watts Felt ‘Blessed’ Going Into Surgery

In 2024, the Pittsburgh Steelers had several rookies contribute significantly to their success. Zach Frazier, Mason McCormick, and Beanie Bishop Jr. are just a few examples. Unfortunately, not every rookie got a chance to display his talents. Defensive back Ryan Watts suffered a nasty injury during the preseason, and he spent 2024 on injured reserve. Recently, he underwent surgery, and his feelings before the procedure were captured.
