The NFL MVP award typically goes to the best quarterback on the best team. This is unfortunate because there are many other candidates that absolutely define value to their teams. One of those players is Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt. Pro Football Focus put out a remarkable stat on Twitter that perfectly encapsulates why Watt should be in contention for league MVP this season and frankly every season.
According to PFF, when Watt plays more than 50 percent of the snaps in a game, the Steelers are 17-5 going back to the start of the 2021 season. When he plays fewer than 50 percent of the snaps, the team is only 1-10-1. If you want to define value, this is it.
