Steelers’ TJ Watt jokes ‘lesser athlete’ would’ve been injured after viral pool slip

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive end T.J. Watt is still laughing at himself days after posting a video of himself accidentally falling into his pool, a video he says friends encouraged him to share on social media. 

Following OTAs on Thursday, reporters could not help but ask Watt about the video that showed him falling into his family pool after he seemingly misjudged how far the ledge extended out. 

"I don’t know how I missed the step but I did and a lesser athlete would’ve got hurt," Watt said with a laugh.
