The Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker heard the praise from his fellow DPOY.
PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt had an incredible season in 2023. Leading the NFL with 19 sacks and finishing the season with 68 combined tackles, Watt was an intimidating factor for every opponent he faced. That being said, his dominant performance didn't garner a Defensive Player of The Year selection.
Chosen over Watt was Cleveland Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, a division rival with 5 less sacks and 26 less total tackles. Many fans and media members alike pointed to Garrett's intangibles and statistics via Pro Football Focus' rating systems, which had Garrett above Watt. That being said, when talking to reporters at Browns training camp in West Virginia, Garrett mentionedWhen NFL Network visited Latrobe for Steelers training camp yesterday, Mike Garafalo had Watt on to discuss camp. When he brought up Garrett's comments, Watt had quite an interesting response.It's clear that Watt would rather focus on his own performance, looking to improve on his previous season in any way he can.
The two defensive masterminds will have two chances for direct comparison, as the Steelers will travel to Cleveland Week 12 and will host Cleveland on Week 14.
