Early on in his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers, star outside linebacker T.J. Watt was all ball, all the time, so focused on getting better at his craft and seemingly needing to uphold the standard that came with his last name in the NFL.
Doing that made him a bit of a “lone wolf” as he describes it, but now feeling much more comfortable in his role and belief in his abilities, Watt is aiming to become one of the “guys” on the team, shedding that lone wolf personality to become more accessible. At least, that’s what he’s aiming for this season, he said to teammate and close friend Cameron Heyward on Heyward’s “Not Just Football with Cam Heyward” podcast from Saint Vincent College in Latrobe earlier this week.
