TJ Watt is one of the most dominant players in football, fresh off a 22.5 sack season and Defensive Player of the Year honors. The fact the Pittsburgh Steelers could take him 30th overall turned out to be an absolute steal. But not everyone was convinced Watt would be a first round pick. In fact, the NFL told him to go back to school for one more season.
Watt joined Pardon My Take Wednesday and talked about his decision to declare for the draft a year early for the 2017 draft.
“I had two years at Wisconsin where I actually played,” Watt told the show’s Dan Katz and PFT Commenter.
