J.J. Watt, DeAndre Hopkins Place High In ESPN’s Top NFL Players

ESPN wrapped up its annual Top 100 NFL players today, and rather predictably the number one spot belongs to a generational pass rusher down in Houston. Here is what the worldwide leader in sports had to say about J.J. Watt extending his reign atop the NFL for one more year.

By the age of 27, Watt has done something that only Giants linebacker Lawrence Taylor has done in NFL history: win three NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards. Over the past four seasons, Watt leads the NFL with 69 sacks, and he should have many stellar years ahead of him.
