Houston Texans linebacker Jadeveon Clowney has pulled out of the Pro Bowl with an injury. His replacement is none other than Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt.

Watt had a huge second season in the NFL. He finished with 68 total tackles, 13 sacks and forced six fumbles. He also chipped in eight passes defended and an interception.

Pittsburgh drafted Watt in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft and he was an immediate impact player. He probably should have made the Pro Bowl from the beginning but this is still a nice honor for the young linebacker.
