J.J. Watt is Officially Part of Steelers Nation
PITTSBURGH -- While Pittsburgh Steelers fans continue to hold out hope that the third Watt brother signs with the black and gold, J.J. gave some a consolation prize for the upcoming season.
During an appearance on Barstool Sports 'Pardon My Take,' Watt said he's setting his original NFL fandom to the side to go support his brothers T.J. and Derek with the Steelers.
The Watt brothers grew up as Green Bay Packers fans in their home state of Wisconsin, but blood runs thicker than fandom for J.J. He plans to be in attendance for a few games and could make his way to Latrobe for training camp this summer.
It's not one of the best defensive ends of all time joining the Steelers, but it's not a loss for the Pittsburgh fanbase. Anytime you can get a future Hall of Famer to show love to your team, it's a small victory.
That being said, Derek is set to hit free agency this offseason, which makes you wonder if J.J.'s team of choice changes if one of his brothers signs elsewhere.
