<p><strong>T.J. Watt </strong>was drafted in 2017 by the <strong>Pittsburgh Steelers</strong> and his impact was immediate in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a></strong>. After the retirement of quarterback <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/ben-roethlisberger">Ben Roethlisberger</a></strong>, Watt undoubtedly became the new face of the franchise.</p>



<p>His numbers have been spectacular in just six years. 77 sacks, 23 forced fumbles, 6 interceptions and 333 tackles. Furthermore, <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> won the NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2021.</p>

<p>Now, prior to the 2023 season with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/pittsburgh-steelers">Pittsburgh Steelers</a></strong>, T.J. Watt is ready to be the leader of a much improved defense alongside names such as <strong>Minkah Fitzpatrick</strong>, Patrick Peterson, <strong>Cameron Heyward</strong>, Cole Holcomb and Larry Ogunjobi. However, a pool accident almost derailed those plans. </p>



<h2>Pittsburgh Steelers: T.J. Watt avoids injury after pool accident</h2>



<p><strong>T.J. Watt</strong> confirmed on social media he was involved in an accident while cleaning the pool at his house. Though the outside linebacker joked about it, considering nothing severe happened, the truth is an injury could have easily occurred putting in jeopardy his status for the <strong>2023 NFL season</strong>. </p>


        

        


<p>“Warning. The activity in this video may be dangerous. <strong><em>Don’t try at home (I’m completely ok)</em></strong>“, was the message by <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> with an emoji laughing at the situation.</p>



<p>In the video, <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> appears cleaning the pool when, suddenly, he slips and falls to the water. The star player was lucky to avoid hitting the step where he was standing as that could have definitely produced an injury.</p>

<p>After falling into the water, <strong>T.J. Watt</strong> immediately throws his cell phone out of the pool to avoid it might get wet. The linebacker reported there’s no injury, but it might have been a scary moment. </p>

<p>The <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/pittsburgh-steelers-t93952" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Pittsburgh Steelers </strong></a>currently own one of the best defenses in the<strong> National Football League.</strong> As a matter of fact, that’s the main reason why they won eleven straight games to start the season.</p>
<p>And, even though their work as a unit has been outstandingif someone deserves more credit than the rest of the pack, that’s definitely<strong> TJ Watt</strong>, who has already proved to be the best of the Watt family, which is a lot to say.</p>
<p>Watt is currently one of the frontrunners to earn the <strong>Defensive Player of the Year</strong> award honors, and it seems like the Steelers will only get as far as their defense can lead them in the postseason.<span></span></p>

<h2>Mike Tomlin Says TJ Watt Is Not From This Planet</h2>
<p>That’s why when Pittsburgh Steelers head coach <strong>Mike Tomlin</strong> was asked about the importance and impact of TJ Watt, he had no choice but to take his hat off, <strong>jokingly saying that he’s not from this world:</strong></p>
<p><span></span></p>

<p> — Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers)    <a href="https://twitter.com/steelers/status/1343972778756730880?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 29, 2020</a>   </p></blockquote></div>

<p><em>“<strong>T.J. is visiting from another planet,</strong> to be quite honest with you. He has freakishly unique talent coupled with freakishly unique work habits and mindset and it produces what you guys witness every week which, in my opinion, is defensive player of the year quality,” </em>Tomlin said, via the Steelers’ official account.</p>
<p>Thus far, Watt has piled up an <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nfl-t20281" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NFL-</a>best <strong>15 sacks </strong>while also leading the league with 23 tackles for a loss and 41 quarterback hits. Also, he’s registered at least one sack in all but 4 games this season.</p>
<p>Anchored by TJ Watt and the rest of their defense, the PittsburghSteelers clinched the AFC North over the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/cleveland-browns-t98379" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Browns</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/baltimore-ravens-t99154" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Baltimore Ravens</a><strong>and sit on a 12-3 record</strong>. And even though their offense continues to raise some doubts, there’s no question that this aggressive defensive identity can lead them through the fire.</p>
