Matt LaFleur Praises Steelers’ Front, Calls T.J. Watt ‘Game Wrecker,’ Alex Highsmith ‘A Baller’

For Green Bay Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur the process was no different. He shared some praise for the Pittsburgh Steelers’ front seven in an interview today provided by the Packers.

“T.J. [Watt] is relentless, he is one of those game wreckers I was talking about. And then on the other side, [Alex] Highsmith, he’s a baller as well.” LaFleur said. “Not to mention all the guys they got, in the interior line, [Cameron] Heyward’s been doing it for a long time at, a really elite level, and they just got him back last week.
