Pittsburgh Steelers team president Art Rooney II and head coach Mike Tomlin both made it clear not long after the team’s 2019 regular season ended that the hope is to have outside linebacker Bud Dupree back for at least the 2020 season and maybe even beyond. Them both saying that was probably music to the ears of Dupree’s outside linebacker counterpart, T.J. Watt, who has made it known for quite a while that he hopes to have his positional counterpart back in 2020.
On Wednesday, Watt, who is currently preparing to play in the 2020 Pro Bowl in Orlando, FL along with several other of his Steelers defensive teammates, once again spoke about how he hopes to have Dupree back playing opposite him next season.
