T.J. Watt has been getting better each year. Here’s why the young Pittsburgh Steelers star is outpacing even the most elite NFL edge defenders.
We all know that T.J. Watt is good; I don’t think there is any dispute there at all. But how good is the rising NFL star edge defender? I recently wrote an article that compared Watt’s statistical production per game to some of the top outside linebackers to ever play for the Steelers.
What I found is that Watt is grossly outpacing legendary players like James Harrison and Greg Llyod in per-game production, and at this rate, he’s going to earn ever Steelers pass rush record in the book.
