Pittsburgh Steelers fan favorite T.J. Watt has been racking up sacks and terrorizing quarterbacks for years. Dude brings a lot to the field - intensity, passion, and some of the hardest hits in the NFL. Now, he's being outed as a "savage trash talker."
Here's what happened:
In a recent podcast, Steelers long snapper Christian Kuntz - a man not exactly known for his verbal warfare - spilled the tea on our favorite linebacker:
Apparently, Watt's inner Terrell Owens has been hiding in plain sight, and, naturally, we Pittsburghers are living for it.
What's Watt's brand of sh*t talking? According to Kunts, it's informing his hapless victims – usually opposing offensive tackles – exactly how much he's "killing them" on every play.
We already knew Watt was a beast, but this newfound trash talker persona adds a whole new layer to the legend. It's like discovering your favorite milquetoast history professor moonlights as a heavy metal drummer – unexpected, but undeniably awesome.
Who knows? Maybe a little on-field chirping is part of the secret sauce to Watt's relentless pursuit of the quarterback.
