Future Hall of Famer JJ Watt has heard a number of stories about Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin from his brother, four-time All-Pro linebacker TJ Watt, but it is different to witness him up close.
The Houston Texans great and current CBS studio analyst attended Steelers practice on Tuesday, prompting Tomlin to publicly express his appreciation afterwards.
“The only thing better than having one Watt on the field, is having two Watts on the field,” the Super Bowl 43 champion posted on X, formerly Twitter. “Thanks for hanging with us, {JJ Watt}.”
The three-time Defensive Player of the Year was equally grateful for the chance to share the gridiron with one of the most respected coaches in the league, and he clearly came away impressed from his training camp visit.
“It’s easy to understand why your players will run thru walls for you Coach,” Watt said in reply to Tomlin. “It was an honor and a pleasure, thanks for having me.”
