Ranking the top 10 Pittsburgh Steelers heading into the 2021 NFL season
By Sam Ouhaj
1. T.J. Watt
Was this even a surprise? T.J. Watt has been a top-three defender since entering the league and has been robbed twice of Defensive Player of the Year. Words cannot describe what Watt provides for this defense, and after a season in which he led the league in sacks (15), Watt will without a doubt be looking to come back and finally win the DPOY.
T.J. is only 26 years old to keep that in mind but is entering the final year of his contract. While he will get paid, the only question is when he will. Watt has made it public that he will not be discussing his contract this offseason which is admirable given how much coverage contract situations have become in the media over the last few years.
