Former Steelers FB Derek Watt Retires From NFL
Early on Tuesday morning, former Pittsburgh Steelers fullback Derek Watt announced his retirement from the NFL with a post on X.
“And now, it is with great honor and gratitude that I officially announce my retirement and the end to my career,” Watt wrote. “A career that ended up being about so much more than just the game that I love. The 7 years, with 2 great organizations, 110 career games, and lifelong friendships and memories that I’ve been fortunate enough to make have been nothing short of amazing.”
He spent eight years in the NFL with 2023 being spent as a free agent. He was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in their final year before moving to Los Angeles and spent four total years in their organization before being signed to the Steelers in 2020 where he spent three years with the team.
