I know offense is dominant in the NFL these days, but there are a handful of defensive players in the league who are just flat-out game-changers.
The list is super short. It’s Micah Parsons, Myles Garrett, Nick Bosa, T.J. Watt and Chris Jones. Maybe you want to include Aaron Donald, who is still pretty dominant all these years later. But that’s it.
Who is the best out of all of them? That’s largely up to personal preference. For me, it might be Bosa. For you? It could be Parsons. For another person, it might be Garrett.
For JJ Watt, it’s TJ Watt. Of course, it’s TJ Watt. JJ took to Twitter to be the awesome big brother and let everybody know it.
TJ WATT is the best defensive player on the planet.
Stop trying to question it, stop trying to justify anyone else.
He is the best.
Period.— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) September 19, 2023
Good on JJ, man. Way to be a great big brother.
To be clear, TJ is absolutely in the running here. The dude is incredible. The season is only two games old and the dude already has four sacks, two forced fumbles and a touchdown. He’s the reason the Steelers can still be competitive.
But, uh, J.J. Cowboys fans aren’t letting you live this one down, my guy. I’m sorry.
Fans invaded Watt’s mentions to make sure he knew that Micah Parsons was the better player between the two. Because, surely, it’s just not possible for them both to be great at the same time.
Adorable. But Micah would like a word lol. https://t.co/wRR8nGnuRX

All the respect in the world for you and TJ. While I think he’s a hell of a player, that title currently belongs Micah Parsons. https://t.co/AySVTdbmCy
