With a new era of Steeler football, comes new leaders and voices. Many of the defensive veterans — TJ Watt and Cam Heyward — have been around for a long time and will be looked at to be the new voices. Having those two veterans in the locker room is something that the Steelers should be happy with.
After voluntary OTAs, Watt sat to talk to Steelers.com’s Missi Matthews about various topics, one of which about veteran quarterback Ben Roethlisberger retiring. With Roethlisberger stepping away, there are leadership shoes that will need to be filled.
Watt is one of those guys that will be looked at to be one of the leaders of the Steelers.
