    The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Watt brothers are synonymous with defense, and the Steel City boasts two of the three Watts on the roster at some point.

    But former Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals Watt brother, J.J., has never played for the Steelers .

    Steelers fans were teased this offseason when J.J. visited the Pittsburgh practice facility and his brother, T.J., after he was named one of the upcoming season's captains.

    T.J. discussed his visit with Pat McAfee on the Pat McAfee Show recently and offered his thoughts on the Steelers and coach Mike Tomlin.

    "I really, really enjoyed stopping by the training camps," Watt said . "I've never been to a Mike Tomlin practice or meeting. I got to sit in on them all. Obviously, I've heard all the stories over the years of everybody talking about him. And for me, it was really cool to sit in that meeting and see he is who he is.

    "I mean, every single day. I was there on a random, I think it was a Tuesday, and his meeting was exactly how you would expect a Mike Tomlin meeting to go. You left, informed, educated, motivated, ready to roll."

    Does this mean a return to the NFL is imminent for T.J.?

    No, but he also has yet to rule it out. And until he does, wild speculation will continue, and fans of the Steelers will wait for the day when the Pittsburgh roster can claim all three Watt brothers on its roster at some point.
