It’s usually not a good thing to be described as narrow-minded unless you are angling toward a goal on the horizon. And that is the sort of narrow-minded focus with which Pittsburgh Steelers second-year outside linebacker T.J. Watt is pursuing his goal to become one of the best linebackers in the NFL and live up to his family name.
Not that he hasn’t already gotten off to a good start. During his rookie season, the 2017 first-round draft pick recorded 54 tackles with seven sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, and seven passes defensed.
