T.J. Watt on the RT battle: For me, it's always good to go against different guys. Added Chucks Okorafor has better hands and Zach Banner is in really great shape

The one big position battle the Pittsburgh Steelers are dealing with during training camp is for the starting right tackle spot. Zach Banner and Chuks Okorafor are both inexperienced young players but they have the confidence of the coaches and look to be squared off right up until the start of the regular season before a starter is named.
One advantage these guys have is they get to square off against one of the best pass-rushing tandems in the NFL in practice every day. If you are a young offensive tackle, going against guys like T.J. Watt and Bud Dupree in practice is better than anything you will see on gameday.
Watt spoke to the media on Wednesday and she offered some input about the two young tackles. It doesn’t sound like Watt has a favorite at this point but he appreciates both guys on some level. It will be interesting to see how this one shakes out.
