T.J. Watt grew up watching T.J. Yates
T.J. Watt was just 17 years old when his older brother intercepted a pass and returned it 29 yards for a touchdown against Cincinnati in the 2011 AFC Wild Card Playoff game. stepped in as a rookie and started five games that year and both of the franchise's first two postseason appearances that year.
On Monday, the Steelers rookie pass rusher will face Yates in the same stadium that has fervently cheered for his older brother for seven NFL seasons. While the Watt won’t get to play against his brother J.J., he is excited to take the field with his brother’s Texans teammates.
