The Pittsburgh Steelers 2017 NFL Draft Day 1 has concluded with the team selecting Wisconsin LB T.J. Watt with the No. 30 overall pick in the selection process.
The selection didn’t take long to sink into the heart of Steelers Nation, and that includes the players Watt will now call teammates.
Check out what current, and former, players had to say about the selection, as well as welcoming him into the fold as the newest member of the black and gold!
(Editor’s Note: This story will be updated as more players take to social media.)
