#10 Overall, T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh Steelers, #4 Defensive Lineman/Linebacker Pass Rusher
27 Aug
2020

2025 Pre-Season Rank #7, 2024 Pre-Season Rank #11: 2023 Pre-Season Rank #15, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #24, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #68, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #102.  Peak Period: 2019-23.

Watching T.J. Watt rocket through this rank reminds us of how his older brother, J.J., did the same thing.

A Pittsburgh Steeler for all of his nine seasons, Watt has been among the game’s top pass-rushers through most of it, winning three Sack Titles (2020, 2021 & 2023), two Tackles For Loss Titles (2020 & 2021), and was the Defensive Player of the Year in 2021.  Watt has been so dominant that he was the runner-up for the DPOY twice (in 2020 & 2023), third in 2019, and fourth in 2024.  He also led the NFL in Forced Fumbles twice (2019 & 2024) and is a member of the 100-sack club.

Watt’s peak may be over, but he is Canton-bound.  The only sad thing is that his bust can’t be beside J.J’s.
