Watt skipped the entire awards ceremony and posted on X that it was ‘nothing I’m not used to,' which seemed to irk Garrett. Following the Steelers' loss,"I have a lot of respect for him.... but I’m number 1. That’s from Edge 1 to Defensive Player of the Year. I’m the guy. That runs through me,” Garrett said.
While Watt clearly felt slighted by the loss, NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe said it was simply a fact of life for all elite NFL players: If you reach a level, you will be robbed of accolades. "If you play this game long enough T.J., you’re gonna get robbed,” Sharpe said. “Everybody has been robbed. Somebody didn’t get an opportunity to go to the Pro Bowl that feels they should’ve been to the Pro Bowl. Somebody felt they should’ve been an All-Pro, they didn’t get to go. Somebody feels they should’ve won an MVP, an Offensive Player of the Year, a Defensive Player of the Year, Rookie of the Year, or something.
