T.J. Watt lands at No. 11 on the NFL Top 100 list

The Pittsburgh Steelers are known for their defense, and when the NFL put together their Top 100 list it should shock no one the team had several defenders make the list after the 2024 season.

The first player to make the list was Cam Heyward, then Patrick Queen came in as the latest Steelers defender to be on the Top 100.

Now, as the list nears the Top 10, T.J. Watt has entered the chat. He comes in at No. 11…

When the NFL puts out these lists, they also have a video which accompanies the player where teammates and fellow NFL players talk about their season, and overall prowess.

Here is Watt’s video:

The biggest issue many, including myself, will have with this list is how Watt comes in at No. 11. Sure, he didn’t have the best finish to the season, but even a down year for Watt is far better than some other players who were on the list.

Nonetheless, with Watt being named when he did, it is likely the last member of the Steelers to be on the Top 100 list. Hopefully the Steelers will have more players crack the Top 100 after what is hopefully a very successful 2025 season.
