Now that T.J. Watt has secured a long-term contract from the Pittsburgh Steelers, the three-time Pro Bowler isn't feeling any extra pressure to perform.
Speaking to reporters about his new deal, Watt explained why being the highest-paid defensive player in the NFL doesn't change anything for him.
"Man, I've been dealing with pressure my whole life. ... I'm built for this," he said. "And I truly believe that nothing monetary will change me as a person. The work that I put in will not change. It will only grow."
The Steelers announced on Friday that Watt officially signed a five-year extension.
