After Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady's about-face in 2022, the NFL world has become a little skeptical of stars announcing their retirements. Yes, you're done, fans, writers, and sometimes even fellow players wonder, but are you really done?

Defensive end J.J. Watt, 35, appears to be really done.

"I had 12 great years in this league and I'm very thankful to walk away healthy," Watt told reporters.
