Steelers LB T.J. Watt named to Sporting News All-Pro team

T.J. Watt was named an All-Pro by NFL head coaches.

The offseason accolades for Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt continue to roll in. The team announced on Thursday that Watt had been named to the Sporting News All-Pro team. The Sporting News All-Pro team is voted on by all 32 NFL head coaches.

Watt has another remarkable season on the way to winning Associated Press All-Pro first-team honors for the fourth time in the past five years. He had 19 sacks, leading the league for the third time in his career. Watt is the only player ever to lead the league in sacks three times since it became an official stat in 1982.

The only remaining question for Watt is whether or not he will get his second Defensive Player of the Year award. Watt was named DPOY in 2021, when he tied the single-season sack record with 22.5.
