J.J. Watt: Nickname rated in the top ten

Our friends at FanSided NFL Mocks released a Top Ten NFL nickname list on Thursday night, and the Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt made the list.

Personally when I think of a nickname for the two-time defensive player of the year, I think of J.J. Swatt. This is the nickname he was given after showing a knack for batting down passes at the line of scrimmage.

Instead, Erik Lambert who wrote the piece for NFL Mocks, rated the moniker “The Milkman.” This is the nickname Watt was given by former teammate, linebacker Connor Barwin.
