Pittsburgh Steelers’ rookie outside linebacker T.J. Watt had a productive NFL regular-season debut against the Cleveland Browns, with a game grade of 78.8 overall.
Watt earned two sacks on his four total pressures, garnering a pass-rush productivity of 11.7 (PRP measures pressure on a per-snap basis with weighting toward sacks).
The rookie also recorded an interception of fellow rookie DeShone Kizer in Watt’s 10 coverage snaps this game to go along with his two run-defense stops.
