Last night during the NFL Honors 2022 Awards Ceremony, Pittsburgh Steelers' All-Pro outside linebacker, TJ Watt finally took home the AP Defensive Player of the Year Award. In an accolade that arguably could've been won by the five-year veteran the past three years in row now, it made last night that much sweeter as the long wait was finally over.
The award itself is well deserved and of course it's the sweetest part of the night for Steeler Nation and the Watt family, but how much sweeter it was seeing how the award was presented by 3x DPOY himself, TJ's brother, JJ Watt of the Arizona Cardinals.
Missed it? Watch as they embrace and share this special moment as two brothers should:
Some moments are just special.

Who's cutting onions in here? "Proud" is definitely the word that comes to mind for all of Steeler Nation, not just JJ. There might not be a harder working player on the team than TJ Watt, and what a moment it was for he and his brothers as Derek Watt was also in attendance.

Congrats again, TJ! The fact that finally winning "motivates" you even MORE is an exciting feeling for all Steelers fans. Here We Go!
