We are joined right now as promised by a linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is down in his

eighth season. He played his college ball at Wisconsin. He was the 2021 NFL defensive player

of the year. He is a six-time pro bowler. He is a five-time all-pro. He led the league last

season with 19 sacks. The Steelers are 1-0. They take on Denver on Sunday. We are joined right now by

TJ Y. TJ, great to run you down. Thanks for making it happen. How are you?

I'm doing well. Thanks for having me. Great to have you. So before we talk ball, it's already

been a big month for your family. Last week you announced on social that you and your wife

were expecting your first child.

Congratulations on that.

How exciting a time is this in your home?

Super exciting.

My wife has been a trooper throughout this whole thing so far.

Pregnancy is crazy.

I have so much, gain so much respect for her and just women and just the whole process of going through this miracle.

It's been awesome. Dude, by the way, pregnancy is crazy like it's it's a great time and it's it's crazy it goes really

fast how much does it help that she's a former athlete oh it helps a lot i mean her pain tolerance is high

just being a former athlete and just her, my schedule has been incredible as well.

She understands that I have to study and I need to do everything I need to be ready for

game week.

And she's always been my number one support to be there to help me throughout everything.

T.J, I get that.

I remember, like, I've already got two that are out of the house.
