T.J. Watt Sets New Steelers Single-Season Sack Record, Surpassing James Harrison

Not everybody was entirely sold on T.J. Watt when he was first drafted, unsure of whether or not he would actually be able to live up to his bloodlines, considering his limited college experience. I count myself among them, to my great shame, but anybody who isn’t a believer by now is simply a fool.

The man only continues to get better and better each year, already a Pro Bowler by his second season and a first-team All-Pro by year three. Many would argue that he should already have at least one Defensive Player of the Year Award under his belt, and is likely the frontrunner this year.
