T.J. Watt Praises Broncos’ Rookie Running Back Javonte Williams

Two days after Pittsburgh Steelers’ defensive captain and All-Pro defensive lineman Cameron Heyward heaped praise on Denver Broncos’ rookie running back Javonte Williams ahead of Sunday’s matchup at Heinz Field, All-Pro outside linebacker T.J. Watt added to the praise for the 2021 second round pick.

Watt, when asked what stands out about Williams ahead of the Week 5 tilt during his Friday media availability, praised the young running back for the power he runs with, along with his ability to break tackles.

“Tough runner,” Watt said, according to video from Steelers.com. “There’s a couple of runs and especially when you play the Ravens in the heat, he had like seven or eight guys try to tackle them and you had like a 40-yard rush.
