While T.J. Watt may be the best defensive player in the NFL, he clearly has some competition when it comes to the pickleball court. On Saturday, Watt was playing pickup pickleball at North Park in Pittsburgh with fellow Steelers OLB Alex Highsmith and S Minkah Fitzpatrick when they encountered a local woman named Meg. Meg and Fitzpatrick faced off against Watt and Highsmith, and “whooped” the two outside linebackers, according to a text she sent her family.
Meg was serving the HEAT. We had trouble all day. https://t.co/iemtZDRbuW

For those unfamiliar, pickleball is a racket sport similar to tennis, but the ball is similar to a wiffle ball, and it also incorporates elements from ping pong and badminton in addition to tennis.
