In 63 hundredths of a second after the snap,*T.J. Watt*is already, on average, a quarter yard past the line of scrimmage and racing toward the quarterback. That's the fastest pass-rush get-off not only by any player this season but also by any player in the previous two, according to NFL Next Gen Stats.

How he pulls that off is a two-part story: alignment and jump. With some help from NFL Next Gen Stats, let's take a closer look at how the*Pittsburgh Steelers' talented outside linebacker becomes an instant threat in opponents' backfields, helping him to 4.5 sacks so far this season.

Pretty fly for a white guy

It's all about reaction speed. YES you can guess but to be consistent you'd have multiple off sides penalties. It's his eye / brain / leg reaction that allows his speed. That's part of what makes him special and worth his weight against the future cap.




Salute the nation

I remember when a fast get off was frowned upon. [emoji851]
