The Pittsburgh Steelers added multiple new starters on the defensive side of the ball, and OLB T.J. Watt is seeing the difference. It’s still early in the process, but one thing is clear enough: the defense is faster. Including growth from second-year players, they have more get-up-and-go at every level.
“Patrick Queen, Donte Jackson, some of those guys have really brought some speed to our defense”, Watt told Mike Garafolo on the NFL Network yesterday, visiting the Steelers’ training camp. “We just have so much fun getting to know guys on and off the field”.
Patrick Queen marked the Steelers’ biggest addition on defense.
