Pittsburgh Steelers fans collectively held their breath after a video of TJ Watt was posted online.
Steelers supporters were alarmed when star linebacker T.J. Watt shared a security video showing himself stumbling and losing his balance while cleaning his pool. The five-time Pro Bowler stumbled into the shallow end and appeared to be unharmed.
The 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year was able to avoid serious injury and find some humor in the incident.
“Warning.. The activity in this video may be dangerous… don’t try at home.. (I am completely ok), he wrote on Twitter.
His older brother, three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt, also poked fun at him.
“This is the most “TJ” video I’ve ever seen in my entire life. (at least this explains why you were late to clean mine today)” J.J. said.

T.J. Watt managed to put together a Pro Bowl season with 5.5 sacks and 39 tackles despite only playing in 10 games thanks to a torn pectoral injury suffered in Week 1.
The Steelers managed to finish 9-8 and avoid handing coach Mike Tomlin the first losing season of his career.
The Steelers front office and fan base would like him to get somebody else to clean his pool so they can have him fully healthy for the upcoming season. Based on how they finished the 2022 season, the team would like to win more games and get into the playoffs this year.
