T.J. Watt (30th overall in 2017)
T.J. Watt, the younger brother of the aforementioned J.J Watt, played in only two seasons on defense for Paul Chryst at Wisconsin and really didn’t break onto the scene until his junior season in 2016.
That 2016, though, saw the Wisconsin native record 63 tackles, 11.5 sacks, one interception and two forced fumbles.
The Pittsburgh Steelers saw that production as enough to select Watt 30th overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.
Watt’s first three seasons in the NFL have been as impressive as they come, as the former Badger has recorded a total of 34.5 sacks, 15 forced fumbles, three interceptions and 177 total tackles.
Last season the former Badger was named as a first-team All-Pro and is currently set to return in 2020 as one of the leaders on the Steelers’ defense.
