T.J. Watt being recognized by his teammates as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ Most Valuable Player for 2019 meant something to him, a fact that he could not deny when he stepped to the podium earlier this week to acknowledge and accept his honor. And that is exactly what it is, in his own words.
“It’s quite an honor, and I can’t really hide how I feel about it, because it’s voted on by the peers and the guys that I’m around on a daily basis, so to be recognized as the team MVP is special to me, and it’s special to everybody in the locker room, because it’s not just me, it’s this whole team collectively”, he said.
