T.J. Watt’s career arc has been nothing short of extraordinary through his first seven seasons in the league. He has already re-written the Pittsburgh Steelers’ record books—and even the NFL’s record books—in multiple ways. He leads the Steelers in all-time sacks, tied the single-season NFL record for sacks at 22.5, and is the first player to lead the league in sacks in three separate seasons. Barring injury, he should blow right past the 100-sack mark in 2024 and continue to set himself apart from many notable pass rushers throughout NFL history.
He is turning 30 years old this season, and history indicates that it could be his best chance to bring home a second Defensive Player of the Year honor.
