J.J. Watt surprised the NFL world Tuesday morning when he announced on social media that he will be retiring at the end of this season.
During his 12-year career Watt has had a lot of fun pumping up his younger brothers, T.J. and Derek, who are currently teammates on the Pittsburgh Steelers.
T.J., of course, is the reigning Defensive Player of the Year, an award J.J. has won three times, and has learned a lot from his brother over the years. He had a perfect reaction to the news, posting just a GIF from The Office in response to his brother’s very sweet tweet.
