J.J. Watt recruits brother T.J.: More NFL support for Burnley as Pittsburgh Steelers star sports personalised Clarets jersey

Championship

Norwich

Burnley

<p>TJ Watt plies his trade in Pennsylvania, as he follows in the footsteps of legendary sibling JJ by forging a reputation as one of the finest defensive players in elite American sport. He is a Pro Bowler and record-breaking star in his own right, with the combative linebacker easing out of his older brother’s shadow.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Having hung up his cleats in 2022, JJ Watt has <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jj-watt-burnley-advice-ryan-reynolds-talking-transfers-wife-kealia-nfl-legend-explains-all-in-turf-moor/blt10d7a05ff05d8f5a" target="_blank">embraced a different kind of football</a>.

He has thrown himself into that venture, with <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bene-bombs-royal-dyche-learning-songs-nfl-icon-jj-watt-pub-crawl-veteran-fan-swearing-youngsters-burnley/blt9445601db255f74e" target="_blank">regular trips to Turf Moor being enjoyed</a>.</p>

DID YOU KNOW?

<p>The Clarets suffered relegation out of the Premier League last season, but are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/nfl-legend-jj-watt-explains-cure-imposter-syndrome-burnley-hands-trophy/blt73f73e91658261b0" target="_blank">already in the process of trying to bounce straight back</a>. They would appear to have another Watt on board in that bid, with TJ sporting a personalised jersey when arriving for the Steelers’ preseason clash with the Buffalo Bills.</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="und" dir="ltr">.<a href="https://twitter.com/_TJWatt?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@_TJWatt</a> ✖️ <a href="https://twitter.com/BurnleyOfficial?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@BurnleyOfficial</a> 😁 <a href="https://t.co/2ynpPiPbhq">pic.twitter.com/2ynpPiPbhq</a></p>— Pittsburgh Steelers (@steelers) <a href="https://twitter.com/steelers/status/1824906131887841790?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 17, 2024</a></blockquote>
