After battling through an injury-plagued season that hindered his production, Pittsburgh Steelers star outside linebacker T.J. Watt fell outside of the top 10 of Pro Football Focus’ PFF50 Thursday morning.
Watt, who had just 5.5 sacks last season in 10 games, missing seven games due to a partially torn pectoral muscle, landed at No. 13 in the PFF50 compiled by Sam Monson. It’s not the first time Watt has dropped in rankings this offseason. Previously, Watt fell out of the top spot at the EDGE position in ESPN’s rankings.
“Injuries limited T.J. Watt to 10 games in 2022, so it’s easy for people to overlook him, especially as multiple other elite edge rushers dominated during the full season.
