Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt learned very early during his rookie season that having shorter shoe laces will probably be a must for him throughout his NFL career.
In a recent video feature for The Players’ Tribune, Watt, the Steelers first-round draft pick last season, told a funny story about him tripping twice during the first game of the 2017 regular season against the Cleveland Browns.

“I dropped back into the flat and the quarterback drops the ball down to the running back and as I’m looking back at him, I trip and fall,” Watt explains in the video.
