Five years from now, we may look back and realize T.J. Watt’s 2021 performance was nothing short of legendary.
Watt was a force to be reckoned with against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday night. He impacted Lamar Jackson’s throw, that fell incomplete, when the Ravens attempted a two-point conversion to win the game.
Watt discussed the play after the game.
“Just came off the edge, unblocked, so I knew I couldn’t rush full speed ’cause a guy like that can pump-fake you,” Watt said, via SI.com. “So I was just trying to keep my feet on the ground as best as I could. I started to see his arm pull back like he was going to throw it. And so I tried to get my hands up to affect the angle as best as I possibly could.”
T.J. Watt is easily the best defensive player in football this season. He deserves all the recognition.
Watt and the Steelers battle the Minnesota Vikings this Thursday.
