Statistically, and relative to accolades, T.J. Watt already had his breakout season a year ago when he recorded 13 sacks with six forced fumbles and was named to the Pro Bowl as one of two defensive representatives for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
But 2019 should be the year that he truly becomes a complete player and takes his game to a whole other level. That might not necessarily mean superior statistics, but he will have a more significant impact, from play to play, on the outcome of games, which is a fair tradeoff. And, of course, he could always outdo himself statistically as well.
