The Pittsburgh Steelers added two new quarterbacks this offseason, signing Russell Wilson after he was cut by the Denver Broncos and acquiring Justin Fields through a trade with the Chicago Bears. And star defensive end T.J. Watt hopes those quarterbacks can help push them to the next level.
During a recent interview, T.J. Watt made it clear that he is excited for both players to be joining the team.
“I’m just hoping that I can learn something from those guys and hopefully, show them how things are done in Pittsburgh as well, what we’ve been doing,” Watt said according to PJ Green of Fox4 in Kansas City.
Watt had a pretty clear message for Wilson and Fields about what he is hoping they are able to do for the Steelers: he wants to win a playoff game.
“I haven’t won a playoff game my whole career, so I’m open to any type of information, where we can continue to get better. Hopefully, those guys can help us do that,” Watt said. “It’s tough. It’s a very tough, competitive league. There’s so much parity, especially in our division. You look at all the quarterbacks. I’m just glad that we have one. It’s all about staying healthy and being on the rise. And that’s what we have to do this year.”
We’ll have to see if that happens this year.
