@John Underrated basically means people don't notice how much he does for the D. He is literally considered a centerpiece for the Steelers D and has been since his 3rd game into his rookie year. He isn't underrated.
@John I agree there but Garret is one of those players that no matter what will get put in that "above everyone else" convo simply cause his draft status coming out of college. Same with Chase Young in a few years if he stays healthy and plays good. Just gotta ignore the few players they decide to overrate until the hype dies down.
It would have worked out perfectly because our line backers would be left outside t.j., right outside leighton vander esch, middle linebacker jaylon Smith, with Sean lee as the 4th line backer, tell me that’s not the best linebacker core.
@@cprimetime9888 the cowboys run a 4-3 defense though so the outside linebackers don't pass rush, so t.j wouldn't have fit into that system unless they moved him to defensive end
Yeah but the Steelers is gonna use him, we need a full back since Roosevelt Nix got hurt, and we actually use our fullbacks. As long as he bring that power, he'll be good
@@alexgold5573 no to you Gilmore in the 2019 season had 44 tackles 6 ints and 20 pass deflects that's dudes entire stat line tj had 35 tackles 14.5 sacks 8 forced fumbles and 2 ints no your ass
natskis While Dk is a really good player, being a freakish athlete doesn’t automatically translate to being a good route runner. No hate, just thought I’d point that out.
I remember telling my dad the Cowboys would forever regret taking Taco Charleton over this kid. I had a good feeling TJ would be a stud in the NFL, while Taco played on a LOADED defense and wasn’t even a top 3 player on that defense at Michigan.
I am a lifelong Steelers fan and have 5 Steelers jerseys. Jerome Bettis, Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, Rocky Bleier, and....T.J. Watt. It's a tribute to The Steelers Front Office that they keep finding talents like Watt and Chase Claypool.
I didn’t know much about him in college but I saw his highlights and knew he was a watt brother and got excited. I’m happy we got him. We were in a drought in the LBs position at the time
I'm biased as a Steelers fan of course but I love TJ and what he is doing so far. I wish him a great career and hopefully a very long stay in Pittsburgh ;)
I'm so thankful other teams passed on him and the steelers got to draft him. Thank you cowboys and packers organizations. Those were the 2 teams I was worried about drafting him before the steelers were up
I yelled at the tv when the packers traded out of the first round to get kevin fucking king...same when we passed on dk metcalf in the 2nd round. Packers suck dick at drafting.
They aren't bad players. They are just bad situations. If they had come to Pittsburgh they would be good. Tj is better then they are tho....just not by much
@@lincolnmaceachern2410 Devin Bush was a monster before his injury... he is still a very good player, needs better management by Tomlin and the DC to get back to that lights out level he was playing at. Jarvis Jones was one of those hit and misses... That aside the Steelers are normally very accurate when drafting LBs and that's a fact!
I remember wanting Reuben Foster (how was taken with the next pick). I wanted to follow Foster’s career and see if we made a bad choice. Obviously I super happy about the way things turned out.
Kyle Volpeil it’s like comparing 5 lineman who were drafted before Trent Williams and start bring up centers and guards. Just barely makes sense just because they play close to each other. Vastly different responsibilities and different necessities (size, speed, strength, IQ, etc).
Joe Mama any player can have a good rookie year but If you are selected first or second round you will most likely get more of an opportunity to achieve that
Let me Drive the Boat 3rd, 4th, and evening 5th round picks are taken on lots of “flier” picks tha can boom or bust. Guys that may have high upside but some flaws, technique issues, size issues, personality issues, or even legal issues. I mean Tyrek Hill was a 3rd rounder not because of talent but off the field issues.
When he came into the League TJ, was JJ's little brother, but not anymore. TJ has grown into a beast, to be feared and respected and preys on QB'S RB'S & TE'S. Go Hawks
Yeah end of first round, not really a late pick. However they have a habit of missing badly with those first round picks. Glad they finally got one right.
As a ohio st fan..wisky constantly puts out under valued players..who excel because you can't out hustle or out work them..high football IQ guys..great players even better teammates...
Now that we have Derek and TJ, we just need JJ. Could you IMAGINE JJ and TJ on each side of the line, plus Derek blocking up the middle? PHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW
That's why we are known as lb University, when it's all said and done, TJ will be a huge favor when we get and win another sb.lets ride Steeler nation.
4-3 ends rarely drop in coverage. That's the big difference really. 3-4 is more versatile in pass defense but less physical in the run game. 4 -3 ends are mainly rushers and open gaps for linebackers.
Being from Wisconsin I really really wanted green bay to draft him. But instead they traded down again. I'm happy with the Smith brothers but they had to pay for them in free agency and now we have cap problems. But that's life right
With Devin Bush being out for the season I think the Steelers should make a trade for Jerad Davis. Apparently the Steelers loves him coming out of the draft.
My Eagles had a need a DE/LB and I remember specifically watching him play the Big 10 game vs Penn State and that moment tweeted that he is the guy we needed! We ended up drafting a DE, too bad it wasn’t Watt. We took Derek Barnett who has been sub par and prob won’t ever make much of an impact. That draft is stacked at the late 1st early 2nd round. Guys like Watt, R Foster, Ramczyk, B Baker, Dalvin, Gerald Everett were all taken within like 10-12 picks 😑
I mean, comparing him to 2 out of the 3 is unfair because 2 are inside linebackers. It would be better to also look at DEs as well. It just depends on the scheme of the defense. Obviously as an olb he’s not always just pass rushing, which makes him even more impressive, but yeah the first two are ilbs, which pass rush a lot less than an olb
The difference between inside and outside lb is huge....its not the same position at all. Thats like saying a saftey is a corner back. Inside are play callers/ball chasers and clean up tacklers, they should be judged by tackles. Outside is judged by sacks period. Well, any tackle for loss.
Glad to see tj is getting the respect he deserves, dude is a monster
T F 💯💯💯
he’s been getting the respect he deserves since getting into the league tf u on 😂😂
Yea I fully agree he is a monster and he will blow his older brothers stats out of the water as a LB period

As a cowboys fan I was so mad when we drafted taco charlton over t.j. Watt, I didn’t even now who taco was before the draft.
It would have worked out perfectly because our line backers would be left outside t.j., right outside leighton vander esch, middle linebacker jaylon Smith, with Sean lee as the 4th line backer, tell me that’s not the best linebacker core.

braiden undercuffler yeah I agree with that
@@cprimetime9888 bro what lmao
MADmagic I realized a flaw in my thought and agreed to it, but still T.J. Watt would still have been better than taco charlton
Being an NFL fullback is no small accomplishment but I bet it’s still kinda shitty being Derek...
I mean he is good but is miles behind his Watt name
Especially since he doesn’t accept the D.J name and wants to be called Derek instead
Hes a Steeler alongside his brother now lol
Yeah but the Steelers is gonna use him, we need a full back since Roosevelt Nix got hurt, and we actually use our fullbacks. As long as he bring that power, he'll be good
@@leoschampion4192 Nix played less than 10% of the snaps in 2018, we don't use our FB much at all in reality.
And now the Steelers have Derek Watt now we just need one more watt brother
David Amos yessir
hey if there's no good RB's or TE's in the second round. Texans would probably love to give us JJ for a 3rd rounder. LOL
brandon beatty lmao. But there will be plenty of rbs I think the fsu rb will be great
when you collect all three they combine to form 3.J. Wattpocalypse
You guys could get him for a 5th round pick and a backup corner I'm sure. Bill O'Brien is insane.
He needs to get DPOY, this season! He surely deserves it and even considering, the missing few games, he had excelled!
Steelerette!
And know he got it
Now*
TJ watt got snubbed for DPOY
Marcos Bustamante no
@@alexgold5573 no to you Gilmore in the 2019 season had 44 tackles 6 ints and 20 pass deflects that's dudes entire stat line tj had 35 tackles 14.5 sacks 8 forced fumbles and 2 ints no your ass
Red HawK13 didnt he get burned by davante parker for like 150 yards
@alex gold stephon was not even the best corner in the legue extremely overrated
Marcos Bustamante no. Chandler Jones has the same amount of ff and 5 more sacks
Correction Derrick watt is a full back for the Steelers
Steelerkris coffee
Derek
i remember when people said he was only being considered a first round pick because his last name was Watt xD
Same people that thought dk Metcalf could only run one route even though he was the freakiest athlete in the history of the combine. Dummies.
natskis nah they still right on that. Metcalf still can’t run a curl route
@@natskis except he wasn't lmao he did the agility routes slower than Tom Brady 😂😂
@@Zalwalloo the guy who broke NFL recorf for rookie receiving yards in a playoff game? Pfffft.
natskis While Dk is a really good player, being a freakish athlete doesn’t automatically translate to being a good route runner. No hate, just thought I’d point that out.
I was so Happy they Drafted him. I'm Penn State fan and watching him play us in the Big10 Championship, I was excited my Steelers drafted him.
brandon beatty I remember. We were down 28-7 against Wisconsin and won
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pittsburgh’s GM is a genius. Just imagine what Devin bush will be like in the coming seasons
D A and minkah Fitzpatrick
Inigo Montoya tuitt was the best steeler on the the field before he got hurt
Inigo Montoya you are completely right, they would’ve been impeccable. This is like what? Five or six straight years of just amazing draft picks.
any man who allocates a 41 million dollar cap hit to Ben Roethlisberger in his 39 Year Old Season cannot be labeled a genius
@@captainspartan04 wish we had a GM like that in houston
Derek is now on Pittsburgh as well 🔥🔥
When the hell did that happen?!
Andrew Gubanic a few day ago. We signed him
@@seanxodonnell is he any good? I don't really pay attention to the Chargers
Andrew Gubanic yeah. He’s a good fullback and one of the best special teams players in the league. He had the most special teams tackles last season.
@@goober5713 Pretty comparable to Nix, just stays healthier than Nix. Good move as long as they make use of him
Imagine How Dominate The Steelers Defense Would’ve Been If Shazier Didn’t Get Hurt And The Steelers Had Shazier And TJ For This Past 5 Seasons
Imagine if we had drafted Darius Leonard instead of Edmunds.
A lot of analysts said the Steelers reached when they selected Watt in the first round lol
said the same thing about jj too
That's why they are called ANALysts.
Watt could've gone first overall in that draft and it wouldn't have been a reach
This aged well. The very next season he ties the season sack record 😂
Could you do all wide receivers drafted before Chris Godwin
Yuhhhhhhh
And then in 2021 was even better!
Steelers know how to pick linebackers, wide receivers, centers, and head coaches really, really well.
Need to update this video. 2021-22, 22.5 sacks 😤
And now tied for the nfl record with 22.5 sacks
Teams should had listen when J.J. watt said that his brother had a better college year then him I guess steeler listen
Already a new upload let's go! Also can you guys do players before Tre'Davious White
now he has tied the sack record in 14 games
I remember telling my dad the Cowboys would forever regret taking Taco Charleton over this kid. I had a good feeling TJ would be a stud in the NFL, while Taco played on a LOADED defense and wasn’t even a top 3 player on that defense at Michigan.
Ravens fan but I respect tj he's a fucking monster
Phew, glad you guys didn't get him.
Now he’s defensive player of the year he goated
Should have just done edge rushers instead, cause that is rlly what TJ is
Simplie Chris no lmao watch him in coverage
Based T he may be able to drop into coverage occasionally but he’s an edge player.
Based T he’s literally an edge rusher 90% of the time
Harris, Charlton are both Edges lol
Based T lmao you’re a casual
TJ Watt broke the sack record
I am a lifelong Steelers fan and have 5 Steelers jerseys. Jerome Bettis, Ben Roethlisberger, Hines Ward, Rocky Bleier, and....T.J. Watt. It's a tribute to The Steelers Front Office that they keep finding talents like Watt and Chase Claypool.
You're going to need to do one of these for Diontae Johnson soon 😤😤😤😤
Steelers Love the MAC.
You should do Two players before Larry Fitzgerald
Jarrad Davis and Tj Watt are the only linebackers living up to their hype
I didn’t know much about him in college but I saw his highlights and knew he was a watt brother and got excited. I’m happy we got him. We were in a drought in the LBs position at the time
Amazing videos keep up the work guys
I'm biased as a Steelers fan of course but I love TJ and what he is doing so far. I wish him a great career and hopefully a very long stay in Pittsburgh ;)
I'm so thankful other teams passed on him and the steelers got to draft him. Thank you cowboys and packers organizations. Those were the 2 teams I was worried about drafting him before the steelers were up
I love TJ so much such an absolute beast 😤 JJ needs to complete the trio here in Pittsburgh
I'm so happy Pittsburgh got him.
Great video. TJ is crushing it again this year.
Best NFL linebacker ever...yeah, I typed that 💯
I’m still pissed the Packers passed on him for Kevin King 😐
Look at the bright side you get to see him on a good team who will actually win a superbowl in the next 5 years
JoMoEE 412 stfu. The Packers made the NFCCG while the Steelers, despite having one of the BEST defenses in the NFL, missed them.

And now he has 22.5 sacks this season. He’s an unbelievable talent, and if he doesn’t win DPOY, they need to abolish the award.
Seems like some of those guys are just misused rather than being bad player
They aren't bad players. They are just bad situations. If they had come to Pittsburgh they would be good. Tj is better then they are tho....just not by much
There's two positions that the Steelers are notoriously accurate at 90% of the time when it comes to drafting:
Linebacker
Wide Receiver
Corners not so much
@@Paul-ew5st true...
Linebacker? See Jarvis Jones and Devin Bush.

Niners fan. Foster, for all his gifts was a fucking idiot. They did nail it the next year with Fred Warner though
Wasn't shazier still healthy at the time or was this the draft after his injury
T.J. Watt is a 3-4 outside linebacker. You put 2 4-3 outside linebackers as drafted before him.
Caden Wrobel some creators don't know what a scheme is.
The title of the video is "Linebackers" not "3-4 OLBs". I get what you're saying though. Not quite apples to apples.

Wisconsin linebackers are just the best
Watt is basically an edge rusher
@@Madmagic Outside Linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Yes he edge rushes a lot, but also draws coverage assignments.
Penn State is better good LBs and EDGE
It's about time
Could you do Terry Mclaurin especially because no one thought he was going to be much in the nfl
Wasn’t he a 2nd round pick? That’s pretty high bro saying he “wasn’t going to be much” is a bit of a stretch for a 2nd round pick.
Gatorade Me, Bitch he was a third rounder and I don’t think you would expect many third rounders to have that good of a rookie year

Good job guys keep up the good work

Bosa brothers

You have to give the Steelers organization credit. They always have the means to dig those gems out of the later picks.
Yeah end of first round, not really a late pick. However they have a habit of missing badly with those first round picks. Glad they finally got one right.
There lb picks never completely flop just imagine if Ryan and J. Jones were still healthy
If they could only learn how to draft CBs.

He can't be stopped
I live in Hartland which is next door to Pewaukee where I got to see them grow.
Who's here when jj got released by the texans?
We took taco charlton over this guys, taco is easily one of our biggest draft bust.
Moris Claiborne too
That's why we are known as lb University, when it's all said and done, TJ will be a huge favor when we get and win another sb.lets ride Steeler nation.
Got give some credit to defensive coordinator Butler he had alot of success with outside linebacker. Portor, Harrison, Watt, Lloyd. Go Steelers
As a Dallas fan, it hurts that we passed on him
Steelers 2017 draft class was insane no cap. We got juju, James Conner, and watt
Outrage Blub potentially our best overall draft class since the lambert ham swann stallworth draft

he should have broken it they didn’t count that
JJ Watt: Am I supposed to be impressed by you _almost_ winning dpoy
Should've said Robbed, not nearly. Dude was HANDS down the best player.
i was shocked that the watt wasn’t a top 15 pick
Queue all the people that don’t know a 3-4 OLB and a 4-3 DE are essentially the same position...
Yes and no. 4-3 DEs tend to be quite a bit larger than 3-4 OLBs
mjsteele42 20 pounds larger max. Nothing too crazy, nothing you can’t ask a professional athlete who’s already 240-250 to bulk to.
4-3 ends rarely drop in coverage. That's the big difference really. 3-4 is more versatile in pass defense but less physical in the run game. 4 -3 ends are mainly rushers and open gaps for linebackers.
The 2017 draft Is so heat that every player drafted before these players is at worst half decent
Bro we are supposed to be talking about the 3 linebackers drafted before TJ watt if my vision is ok not the WHOLE WATT FAMILY
this year 22.5
Whats even funnier is that Taco now also plays for the Steelers. So they got both of them lol.
Being from Wisconsin I really really wanted green bay to draft him. But instead they traded down again. I'm happy with the Smith brothers but they had to pay for them in free agency and now we have cap problems. But that's life right
As a packers fan, it's sad to know that he was still available during the draft when it was our turn.
You know some of this could be put on the player of course, but coaching and the systems play a lot in the success a player will have.
Ik this is about Tj watt but this video also kinda shows how good Aaron Donald really is like bro a DT with 20 sacks. That’s just mind boggling
Derek is actually playing in Pittsburg along side his brother TJ
My mans tj got hands like he’s still a tight end at Wisconsin😂😂
My man TJ!!
are we really still classifying edge defenders and off-ball LBs together?
Y’all gotta look up Charles Harris’ high school football field at Lincoln Prep. Blue turf with a shot of the KC skyline. Best in the area.
“He attended Kramer daycare where he recorded 12 sacks and 56 tackles while playing for his peewee team”
Solid daycare stats if you ask me.
He forms a terrifying duo with Dupree

Whats the chance that we get JJ Watt going into the playoffs if Houston season ends after 16 games?
Wait didn’t GB move up to draft a LB from bama right before pit?
Those teams missed out on who would be one of the best
What about Taco Charleton? He was selected ahead of TJ Watt by the Cowboys in 2017.
