T.J. Watt ‘Not Surprised’ That Rookie Payton Wilson Had A Good Game

Players like Chris Boswell and T.J. Watt were clear stars for the Pittsburgh Steelers in their 18-10 win over the Atlanta Falcons Sunday, but there were multiple players who had good performances. Rookie linebacker Payton Wilson was one of those players. Wilson flashed during the preseason, and he made the most of his snaps in Week 1.

Speaking to the media after the game, Watt was asked his opinion on Wilson’s first NFL game.
