Let me start by saying—yes, it’s an honor for any Pittsburgh Steelers' player to be ranked among the NFL’s Top 100 players.
Recognition matters.
But ranking T.J. Watt at No. 27 on Pro Football Sports Network’s list feels like more than a slight. It feels like a dismissal of who he is and what he’s done for the Steelers franchise.
The stats they shared speak volumes.
Watt led the league with six forced fumbles, posted 11.5 sacks (eighth in the NFL), 53 pressures, and 39 defensive stops. Those aren’t pedestrian numbers—they’re elite.
Yet somehow, players like Aidan Hutchinson (22), Trey Hendrickson (19), Micah Parsons (16), and Myles Garrett (5) all sit above him.
