The Pittsburgh Steelers have a history of unbelievable defenders, but none of them have gotten more sacks with the franchise than T.J. Watt. Since Watt was drafted in 2017, he’s done nothing but get better. He’s a premiere game-wrecker that’s been snubbed for awards a time or two. For those reasons, former New England Patriots safety Devin McCourty believes Watt has joined elite company.
McCourty was with the Patriots from 2010 to 2022, being a cornerstone of multiple championship defenses. Appearing recently on Annie Agar’s podcast, The Offensive Line, McCourty spoke about why Watt would be his choice for Defensive Player of the Year this season.
