TJ Watt expressed shock when Garrett was named the 2023 Defensive Player of the Year over him, tweeting, “Nothing I’m not used to.” Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Garrett stated that Watt owes him an apology.
Watt won Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2021, but many were stunned when Garrett won the award over him in 2023. Watt had 19 sacks (tops in football) and eight pass defenses, while Garrett had 14 sacks and three pass defenses.
