For the past several years, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been often referred to as having a “Big Three” on the defensive side of the football, with those three players being OLB T.J. Watt, DL Cameron Heyward and S Minkah Fitzpatrick. All three guys are identified as the top player, or one of the top players, at their position group in the league. They have the accolades and the career production to back it up.
Watt’s status in Pittsburgh is unquestioned as the former Defensive Player of the Year is set to break the bank this offseason once he and Pittsburgh agree on a contract extension.
