The Pittsburgh Steelers just completed a massive four-year, $112 million contract extension for fifth-year outside linebacker T.J. Watt, who has been one of the best players in the NFL over the course of the past few years. He’s ready to focus on football now, with his future secured. But, having sat out of practices all offseason until this past week, will he be physically ready to go?
“They always say it’s different being in shape and being in football shape, and I believe that as well”, he admitted while speaking to reporters earlier today. “But we worked extremely hard to have the Catapult GPS monitor on me, reflecting numbers from last year and trying to make sure that I was in the top percentile of the guys that were active practicing”.
