JJ Watt became a superstar with the Texans, and finished his career with the Cardinals. However, he’ll be rooting for a different team now that his NFL career is over, and it probably won’t come as a huge surprise.
Watt’s brothers, TJ and Derek, both play for the Steelers. TJ Watt has proven to be a similar defensive force to his older brother, tying the NFL single-season record with 22 1/2 sacks in 2021 and earning Defensive Player of the Year honors that year. He’s a three-time first-team All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler. Derek Watt has been a fullback for the team since 2020, after beginning his career with the Chargers.
JJ still will likely have some love for Houston, especially after the franchise hired former Texans teammate DeMeco Ryans as its new coach. However, moving forward expect to see him in more black and yellow than anything else.
