Pittsburgh: Every year, the Steelers pick a team MVP, and it’s a big deal. This year, T.J. Watt has snagged the award for the fifth time. That’s a record for the franchise!
Watt has been a standout player, winning the MVP in 2024, 2023, 2021, 2020, and 2019. That’s quite the streak! The Steelers have had some legendary players, but none have matched his five wins.
In the past, guys like Joe Greene and Franco Harris only won it once. Even big names like Terry Bradshaw and Jerome Bettis didn’t win it more than three times. So, Watt’s achievement is pretty special.
Watt expressed how much it means to him, saying, “It’s awesome. It’s a great honor that I don’t take lightly.” He really values the recognition from his teammates, who see his hard work every day.
Standing out in a franchise with such a rich history is no small feat. This award adds to his impressive Hall of Fame credentials, and it’s clear he’s making his mark.
