It may only be the preseason and statistics aren’t official in these games leading up to the 2017 regular season, but Watt made an impression on Friday night. The former Wisconsin standout recorded two sacks in the Pittsburgh Steelers’ 20–12 win over the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
In the Giants’ first two offensive series, Watt asserted himself. On a third-and-7, the outside linebacker fought off the left tackle and dropped quarterback Josh Johnson to force a punt. The youngest of the three Watt brothers excitedly jumped off the ground, but he wasn’t done.
