Ex-jogador do Steelers prevê grande temporada para T.J. Watt

Solomon Wilcots espera que T.J. Watt apresente uma temporada forte em 2026 com o Pittsburgh Steelers. O ex-safety apontou a motivação de Watt em igualar Myles Garrett como um fator determinante.

Wilcots, ex-safety do Steelers e agora radialista, classificou Watt como o terceiro melhor pass rusher da NFL, atrás de Garrett e Will Anderson Jr. Ele afirmou que os números consistentes de dois dígitos em sacks de Garrett e sua trajetória rumo ao Hall da Fama continuam a motivar Watt.

“Existe uma guerra fria entre esses dois, por terem jogado na mesma divisão e na mesma classe de draft”, disse Wilcots na SiriusXM NFL Radio. Garrett foi trocado para o Los Angeles Rams após estabelecer o recorde de sacks em uma única temporada.

Watt registrou apenas sete sacks em 2025 após perder três jogos por lesão. O novo coordenador defensivo, Patrick Graham, planeja rotacionar os jogadores com mais frequência, uma mudança que Wilcots acredita que ajudará Watt a retornar à sua forma de elite.
