T.J. Watt Joined Some Elite Company With His Fine 2019 Season

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt had a very impressive 2019 season as the former first-round draft pick out of Wisconsin registered 14.5 sacks, 7 forced fumbles and 2 interceptions on top of his 55 total tackles. While those 2019 stats that Watt registered have been discussed in various ways since the end of the season, they were recently put into a great perspective.

According to NFL Research, in 2019, Watt became just the third player since 2000 – following Jason Taylor (2006) and Terrell Suggs (2011) – with 10 or more sacks, seven or more forced fumbles and two or more interceptions in a season.
