JJ Watt was every offensive player’s worst nightmare 💀

I think people are already forgetting about how crazy good Watt was. There are zero defensive players not named Aaron Donald that are even in the conversation with him in the past couple decades.
So many people forget how he completely broke the game as a player. PFF did a write up once about how they had to rework their player model because JJ broke it.
If refs had called holding honestly against JJ other teams would never would have moved the ball.
I respect JJ, after Harvey I had real questions about where all that money went I asked a question about the money he responded very nicely and he told me where the money went and all I could do was like say man thank you for what you did for the city of Houston
The most broken player we ever had. It didn’t matter how many guys were blocking him, it didn’t matter who he was facing or what the play was, it didn’t matter if the offense schemed the entire week on slowing him down, JJ always made his presence felt every game, and the only thing the other team could do was pray.
Prime JJ was a force of nature
It’s crazy with how big a lot of these guys’ egos are, for a player on the opposing team during the game, that player being Lane Johnson, a damn good offensive lineman to compare a pass rusher to a great white shark circling you
I’ll never forget that era. He was so goated out there making some Supernatural moves every Sunday. Like I still can’t believe I got to watch it all
The only player I’ve ever heard Bill Belichick put in the same category as LT.
I still fantasize of what could have been had we drafted Donald instead of Clowney. One entire side of the opposing OL would just melt with those two.
Is it even possible to play DE any better than him?
