    Watt isn't even going to be a starter this year, but having a third pass rusher in the rotation at outside linebacker along with Dupree and Harrison should help. They need him to be useful this year, then take on a larger role next season.

    He won't start game 1. I would not rule out him starting before game 16. We had rookies starting at the end of last season.

    I don't mean that he can't start as a rookie. I just expect Harrison and Dupree to be the starters and hoping neither misses time with injury.

    Watt, definitely brings the excitement of a k.greene but who brings the nasty, feared, swagger of a lambert,lloyd or porter or deebo?!

    Watt will be starting by midseason. As much as a freak JH is, lets not forget his age.

    Well, that changed quickly. Hopefully, the kid is ready for that. If he is better than Harrison, that's great.

    By the way, it is better to quote the actual source. Steelers Depot was using the Post-Gazette's reporting in that story.
