Houston Texans: J.J. Watt Wants To Be Top-Tier DE, Go To Super Bowl

The decision by the Houston Texans to take Wisconsin’s J.J.

Off The Field: The Justin J. Watt Foundation

“Dream Big, Work Hard” Texans’ fans, you should be very proud. Everyone knows the impact JJ Watt had in his first season as a Texan on the field, but no matter what he achieves on the field, it won’t compare to what he is doing off the field. In just his second year as the Texans’ starting defensive end, Watt has fully embraced Houston. Even as much...

Watt going Predator?

On Thursday, J.J. Watt posted a photo via his twitter asking his followers if they like his “possible” new look for the 2012 season.  Honestly Watt looks like he belongs in a Sci-Fi movie, but as long as he makes it happen like he did in his rookie season in 2011 what does it matter? Either way what do you think of the new look? Which look do we like better? Let...

Texans DE J.J. Watt says working at Pizza Hut made him the man he is today

One of the reasons the Texans’ defense transformed from a horrible unit into a formidable one last season was the play of rookie defensive end J.J. Watt. Watt, whose season was capped off by an amazing interception that helped secure a first-round playoff win over the Bengals, finished the year with 5.5 sacks and 56 tackles.  His future looks very bright, and according to...

J.J. Watt Is All Over Miss America, Laura Kaeppeler

Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt, Miss America Laura Kaeppeler and yours truly all have two things in common. 1. We’re awesome. 2. We’re all from Wisconsin. So suck on that, *******!

Watt proves to doubters he belongs in NFL

(Photo: Thomas B. Shea/Getty Images via Guardian.co.uk) The first game on today’s playoff slate was probably (let’s be honest) the least-compelling match-up of the weekend, with the Houston Texans making their first-ever playoff appearance against the Bengals in Houston. The game was tied up with time winding down in the first half when Texans rookie DE J.J. Watt came...
