2 Steelers named to the PFWA All-Pro Team

The Pro Football Writers of America released their All-Pro team this week and the Pittsburgh Steelers got two players on the list. Outside linebacker T.J. Watt and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick were both rewarded for their exceptional season with the honor.

Watt led the NFL with 15 sacks to go along with 23 tackles for loss and 41 quarterback hits. Watt is the clear frontrunner for Defensive Player of the Year and is one of the best all-around defensive players in the NFL.

Fitzpatrick led the Steelers with four interceptions and five total turnovers. He also chipped in 79 total tackles and proved once again to be invaluable due to his versatility.

The PFWA also announced their All-AFC team but Watt and Fitzpatrick were the only two Steelers to make that list as well.
