When it comes to NFL defenders, the more ways you can force opposing offenses to account for you, the harder they are to gameplan for. This is what teams have to contend with when they line up across from Pittsburgh Steelers EDGE T.J. Watt.
Watt’s calling card is his pass rush game and tenacity in sacking the quarterback. But the reality is there isn’t much Watt cannot do on the field. A sentiment shared by Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow. when he talked on the Pardon My Take Podcast.
“There’s no other defensive lineman I have to treat like a DB,” Burrow said.

Watt has 96.5 career sacks, a Defensive Player of the Year Award and is the only player in NFL history to lead the league in sacks during three different seasons.
Four of Watt’s career sacks have come against Burrow and he and the Steelers are hoping they can keep Burrow uncomfortable again this season.
