“Y’all know me, still the same T.J.”
Obviously, that’s a very poor attempt to make a play on the opening line from Dr. Dre’s “Forgot About Dre” but it sure feels like the NFL has forgotten about Pittsburgh Steelers star pass rusher T.J. Watt entering the 2023 season.
Coming off of an injury-riddled 2022 season that saw him miss seven games and record just 5.5 sacks one year after winning the 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year award, Watt is seemingly an afterthought at the position right now due to the emergence of names like San Francisco’s Nick Bosa, Cleveland’s Myles Garrett and Dallas’ Micah Parsons.
