Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt put together one of the best seasons that any defender in team history had ever had, which is remarkable enough to say in its own right, given the fact that we are talking about a franchise that has seen a player earn the Defensive Player of the Year Award seven times.
One can make a strong argument that it should be at least eight by now, if not nine, because Watt has been very much deserving of the award in each of the past two seasons, but failed to win both times.
