Pro Bowl selections are locked in after the NFL announced who will be making the teams. As usual, there was some controversy over some of the picks made.
TJ Watt made the prestigious list this season even though he’s only played seven games this year. For that reason, Will Compton roasts the Pittsburgh Steelers star.
Late Wednesday night, the Bussin’ With The Boys co-host congratulated Watt for making the Pro Bowl. However, it was definitely a dig, as the Steelers’ edge rusher has barely played this season.
Congratulations to @_TJWatt on making the Pro Bowl.
Amassed 4 sacks while only playing 7 games.
A true underdog story.

A true underdog story indeed. Although TJ Watt is a star and fan favorite, he doesn’t really deserve to be considered a Pro Bowler this year. Steelers Nation doesn’t seem to care, as they went in on Will Compton to defend their superstar.
That’s 3 more than you have in your entire career boom bang zoom zang got’em

These accolades are cool, but what does this have to do with the 2022 season?
Riiiiight and in his first 5 years he missed 3 games combined. Made 5 pro bowls, was a 3x first team all pro, won a DPOY AND tied sack record. Tore his pec and missed 8 games. Tj watt isn’t just the best edge in the game, he’s the best player in the league.

This is the go-to roast for Steelers fans on Will Compton.
He had more sacks than you in your entire career in 7 games 😹

In all fairness, there are some pretty good licks sent by Steelers Nation. They came out of the woodwork to defend TJ Watt. However, Will Compton was flawless in his comebacks.
Ah yes.
My one sack in 2015. That was a great year.

Compton came off the top rope multiple times!

We’re not entirely sure why Steelers fans are so upset, to begin with. TJ Watt doesn’t really deserve a Pro Bowl nod after playing in only seven games. Regardless, we at least got to witness absolute savagery from Will Compton.
