Steelers’ T.J. Watt Gave Fans a Major Scare With Pool Cleaning Mishap

Steelers fans were given a scare when star linebacker T.J. Watt posted a security video of him slipping and losing his balance while attempting to clean his pool. The five-time Pro Bowl talent fell awkwardly into the shallow end. 

The 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year and leader of Pittsburgh’s dominant pass rush thankfully was able to avoid serious injury and find some humor in the incident.

“Warning.. The activity in this video may be dangerous… don’t try at home.. (I am completely ok 😂),” he wrote on Twitter.

His older brother, three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt, also took to social media to poke fun at his brother's expense. 

“This is the most “TJ” video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. (at least this explains why you were late to clean mine today)” J.J. quipped.

After avoiding a crisis, Steelers’ fans offered to clean T.J.’s pool in the future to ensure he never endures a similar scare.
