Derek Watt Recounts How His Agents First Revealed Steelers’ Offer To Him

You’ve no doubt already heard the story about how the Pittsburgh Steelers were very interested in signing fullback Derek Watt earlier this offseason. And you’ve surely heard that he was really hoping that they would be interested. You’ve heard about the team talking to T.J. Watt about it, and how they all kept it under their hats. But you probably didn’t hear exactly how his agent presented it to him.

As Curtis Crabtree transcribes for Pro Football Talk, Watt was recently on Sirius XM radio talking about the offseason and his signing. At one point, he talks about how he was first informed of what the Steelers’ offer was for him:

So they kind of downplayed it the whole time and come the day I made my decision and had the opportunity to sign with the Steelers, they presented me with the offer without a team name at the top.
