'T.J. is my dog. He is a hard worker on and off the field. He is a great person to be around, a great person to exchange and pick brains.' – @Bud_Dupree on @_TJWatt

The relationship between linebackers Bud Dupree and T.J. Watt is evidenced by their onfield production. The two work in harmony, almost seamlessly, each game day. That is why they are one of the best pass-rush duos in the NFL.
Dupree said that their success stems from working together not only during the season but in the offseason as well.
“T.J. is my dawg,” Bud Dupree told the media on Monday. “He is a hard worker on and off the field. He is a great person to be around, a great person to exchange and pick brains.”

Per Teresa Varley of Steelers.com, Bud said he and T.J. want to keep the fire underneath them to keep the defense the best it can be.
This season is likely to be the last of the Dupree and Watt twosome. Bud is currently playing under the franchise tag and the Steelers won’t be able to afford to pay what he’ll be worth.
