J.J. Watt Asks Important Question About Steelers' T.J. Watt

J.J. Watt doesn't know what else the Pittsburgh Steelers star could have done.

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Steelers edge rusher T.J. Watt lost Defensive Player of the Year to Cleveland Browns' Myles Garrett. Immediately, reactions came in from both sides - defending Garrett as the winner, and Watt as the should-have-been winner. 

So far, finalist Micah Parsons has made his opinion known, saying Watt isn't even a top-five pass-rusher in the NFL. Watt's brother, J.J., has since stepped in, defending his brother and asking an important question when it comes to the DPOY Award. 

"Everybody is asking for my opinion on DPOY. I get it. The problem is I have no interest in tearing down MG. Myles is a phenomenal player, I’m a big fan and he’s had an incredible career so far," J.J. said. "I can acknowledge that while also wondering what more T.J. could have possibly done."

Watt finished ahead of Garrett in every statistic outside of forced fumbles, which they tied with four. He finished the year by leading the NFL in sacks, his third time as the league leader, becoming the first player to do so in league history. 

The question remains, what more could Watt have done this season? We'll have to find out if he can do more next season.
