Houston Texans’ defensive lineman J.J. Watt may end up starting to decline a bit after missing almost the entire NFL season in 2016 due to a back injury. It also doesn’t help that he’s not 28 years old, which means he’s getting up there in age in football terms.
There’s no doubt that Watt is one of the best defensive players when he’s healthy.
The problem is that football is a brutal sport that tends to cut great careers short. Hopefully that’s not the case for Watt.
Watt is now healthy and ready to go. But there are questions as to whether he’ll return to his previous form after undergoing multiple surgeries.
