OLB T.J. Watt had a down 2022 season by his standards, starting 10 games and making 39 total tackles, eight TFLs, 5.5 sacks, one forced fumble, two INTs, and five PBUs. To Watt’s credit, he injured his pec in Week 1 of the regular season and went on IR but still managed to return after Pittsburgh’s bye week when many questioned if the injury would be season-ending.
Despite missing a good chuck of the season and having his stats notably drop from his NFL Defensive Player of the Year campaign a season before, Watt still earned a Pro Bowl selection last season.
