Today, I wanted to take a bit of a sharp turn on the average Friday article and have a little fun. Tuesday morning, future-Hall of Famer, JJ Watt announced that he will be retiring following the 2022 season. Obviously, it’s well-known that JJ starred at Defensive End for the Wisconsin Badgers before he was drafted to the Houston Texans in 2011 and went on to become one of the best Defensive Linemen in the game. Given Watt’s Wisconsin roots, it’s no surprise that fans of the Green Bay Packers wish he played in Green and Gold.
Watt was drafted 11th overall by the Texans in 2011, just a few months after the Packers hoisted the Lombardi trophy winning Super Bowl XLV.
