Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt ranked tied for third with his brother J.J. and behind the San Francisco 49ers’ Nick Bosa (9-to-1). J.J. Watt — the Houston Texans’ lineman who has won the ward three times — and T.J. each were at 11-to-1.

Steelers safety Minkah Fitzpatrick is among a large group tied for the 14th-best odds at 33-to-1. Devin Bush (150-to-1) and Cameron Heyward (200-to-1) are among the longest shots listed by BetOnline.

Only 11 players have better odds than the 25-to-1 line for Steelers antagonist and Cleveland Browns edge rusher Myles Garrett.
