T.J. Watt: ‘Too Early In My Career’ To Compare Himself To J.J.’s Dominant Run

Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt is making it a tough argument when it comes to the best defensive player in the league, with really the only other name being the Los Angeles Rams’ Aaron Donald, who just became the highest-paid defensive player of all time.

Before both of them, however, there was J.J. Watt, who, like Donald, is a three-time Defensive Player of the Year. While T.J. gets all the love these days, and is routinely in the discussion as the best defender now, he doesn’t want people to forget how dominant his big brother was at his height—and he doesn’t think he merits comparison just yet.
