Taylor Lewan Apologizes for Spitting in Steelers LB T.J. Watt's Face

If Taylor Lewan is coming to the Pittsburgh Steelers, he wants to put a poor past with T.J. Watt aside.

The Pittsburgh Steelers haven't said anything about their plans for left tackle next season, but Tennessee Titans Pro Bowler Taylor Lewan has made it known he's interested. 

Lewan has said twice now that he's not opposed to signing with the Steelers if he's cut by the Titans this offseason. However, there could be a bump in the road with his morale coming into the locker room. 

Lewan joked during a social media post, saying he and Steelers All-Pro T.J. Watt still have some unresolved beef from their time playing against each other. Lewan invited Watt on his podcast 'Bussin' With the Boys' but was denied three times by the linebacker.

So, he released a video trying to squash any tension between the two. 

Lewan admits that he had two poor interactions with Watt during their matchups. One time, he spit in Watt's face. The other, he hit him in his groin. 

Not great teammate vibes. 

That being said, Lewan was very straightforward about wanting to move past their harsh encounters, especially if Lewan is going to continue pushing for the Steelers to sign him. 

While the two may not be close now, if Lewan was to sign in Pittsburgh, it's almost guaranteed they'd put any negative feelings aside as teammates.
