The 2021 NFL Defensive Player of the Year, Wat, led the league in the sacks for three of their eight sessions, and led him to the forced Fambal twice, including the previous season. Nevertheless, Wat struggled with stretch in 2024. He finished the year with 11.5 sacks, but he had only two sacks and four quarterbacks in the steeler’s season-ending five-game losing streak. During those games, he played 260 out of 261 Snaps on the left, according to ESPN Research. Wat accepted his shortcomings in that stretch and said that he would be open to roam.
He said, “I like the Left, but in my career I want to be an impact player at this point,” he said in January. “I don’t want to get out of the games. I want to be able to distribute football in a good field of position or to take away football, and when it comes on it it was not a good year for itself.”
