Former Wisconsin Badger and current Pittsburgh Steeler T.J. Watt has had a remarkable first 3.5 years in the NFL.
Already with two Pro Bowls and one first-team All-Pro honor, Watt has risen to the top of the league at his position. And given the way things are trending now, he is only getting better.

The former Badger has followed in the footsteps of his older brother J.J., a guy who has been an absolute game wrecker since he entered the league in 2011. And, as I noted earlier, T.J. is only getting better. It doesn’t seem like it will be long until he takes home Defensive Player of the Year honors in the AFC.
