    Let the rumors begin again, J.J. Watt is back in Pittsburgh

    Oh boy, here we go again.

    Retired defensive end J.J. Watt has Steelers Nation talking after he posted a couple photos to social media, showing him at the team’s South Side facility.

    One photo shows the team’s weight room, the other photo features a shot at the field.

    Of course, the three-time NFL defensive player of the year’s brother is Steelers star linebacker T.J. Watt. So, it’s most likely just a visit, but there were rumors last season.

    This past February, Watt said he was “monitoring the Steelers and Texans situations” concerning a possible return to the field but that never happened.

    “Trust me, it would’ve been an absolute dream come true to play with my brother would be great,” said Watt.

    He said that the Texans and Steelers were “set” and the right opportunity didn’t present itself.

    “If it was something where I could bring something that would help somebody to a potential Super Bowl situation where you fill in a need and something that could take them to a new level, absolutely, but just to do it would’ve been ridiculous,” said Watt.

    Watt also said he got the itch to play again after his famous visit to Pittsburgh to see his brother play.

    Watt was in Pittsburgh to see T.J. play during a Thursday Night Football game at Acrisure Stadium in early November.

    The Steelers would go on to lose 4 of their next 5.

    Watt told McAfee is he “1000 percent” retired now, but you never know.

    T.J. didn’t help when he told Kay Adams on the “UP and Adams Show” earlier this month “we’ll see”, when asked if J.J. could return to the NFL.
