T.J. Watt showed a little of his nasty side on Thursday.

According to Jacob Klinger of PennLive.com, Pittsburgh's No.1 pick got into a "brief fight" with Jerald Hawkins, Pittsburgh's second year offensive lineman who is coming back after missing his entire rookie season with an injury. It's Watt's first reported practice fight since being drafted by the Steelers.

Klinger reported that Watt and Hawkins "tangled momentarily, then resolved the conflict themselves." He added that no coaches were needed to separate the two players.

Hawkins said that he and Watt are "definitely cool" after their tempers apparently got the best of them during Pittsburgh's final minicamp session.

"We just shook hands like 'Yeah, my bad,' 'My bad,'" Hawkins said of the skirmish.

"Just playing football and competing at a high level," Watt added, "things like that are going to happen."

While Watt has been recently praised for his preparedness and football IQ, the team's new pass rusher displayed a more emotional side of his game on Thursday, a side that Steelers' fans surely hope Watt brings to the field while chasing down opposing quarterbacks.
