PITTSBURGH — Two of the Watt brothers have already been in the Steelers facility, basically every day, but the other Watt brother, future Hall of Famer J.J. Watt, now has an open invitation to come down to the UPMC Rooney Sports Complex.
In a Twitter back-and-forth on Friday, Tomlin posted just why he and the Steelers love brothers so much on the team. Watt decided to respond to that tweet, and not only asked to visit the Steelers facility but gave plenty of praise to Tomlin, who has coached both T.J. and Derek for multiple seasons.
Much love…More ball.

“Incredible coach & incredible man,” Watt said. “There’s a reason your players would run thru a brick wall for you. Been a pleasure hearing Derek & TJ share stories about you and your leadership. Hope to come visit sometime if you’ll have me.”
Tomlin rarely responds to tweets, but he did this one time, telling Watt that he is welcome to come to the facility any time he wants.
