It’s just Day One of his NFL career. But it was a good step forward for T.J. Watt. Per the Trib’s Chris Adamski, Watt began the first day of OTAs running as the first team ROLB, though the caveat is that James Harrison did not participate in team drills.
Watt’s teammates took notice, praising the rookie for how quickly he’s seemed to acclimate himself.
“He’s good,” Bud Dupree told Adamski. “He’s catching on fast. Learning. Communicating well. I feel like he will be OK.”
Ryan Shazier, the QB of the defense and proper evaluator of such things, echoed similar thoughts.
