T.J. Watt has finally been honored as the NFL’s best defensive player. In an injury hit season when he tied the NFL’s sack record of 22.5, he thoroughly deserves the recognition as the best of the many talented athletes in 2021.
All his NFL accomplishments are readily available online so I thought it would be appropriate to look back at his collegiate years. Those years that molded a tight end into the monster linebacker Watt became.
Not many fans would have appreciated that he started his football journey with the University of Wisconsin-Madison as a tight end.
