When BTSC held our All-Time Pittsburgh Steelers fantasy draft earlier this year, I surprised some by selecting TJ Watt as number one overall. With 32 Hall of Famers and a dozen more in the Hall of Honor, how could a player currently on the roster be in the same conversation with these legends? But recently, some important Steelers figures are putting Watt high in their all-time rankings. So while there are still many chapters left to be written in Watt’s story, he’s currently on pace to be the greatest Steelers defender ever.
The conversation got serious last month when former head coach Bill Cowher ranked his top five Steelers defenders on The NFL Today.
