TJ Watt made Pittsburgh Steelers history again. The All-Pro pass rusher was named the team’s MVP for the 2024 season. This is the fifth time he has received this honor – a franchise record. Watt continues to cement his legacy as one of the greatest defensive players in Steelers history and an NFL icon.

This season, Watt has been a game-changer week in and week out. He managed 11.5 sacks, six forced fumbles and several key plays in critical moments. Whether it was harassing quarterbacks, shutting down the run or rallying defenses with his relentless energy, Watt was the heartbeat of the Steelers’ success.

Watt’s performance breaks the previous record of four team MVP awards shared by Antonio Brown and reflects his consistent dominance. He also received the award in 2019-2021 and 2023. His leadership extended beyond the field, mentoring younger players and setting standards for work ethic and excellence.

Steelers fans know that as long as Watt is on the field, the team can win. His 2024 MVP award solidifies his place among the franchise’s all-time greats and reinforces his reputation as the NFL’s best defensive player. The sky remains the limit for this Steelers superstar.
