Chargers FB Derek Watt teams up with brothers to talk heat safety

“Hot one today,” as good ‘ol Wally would constantly say.

But seriously, dealing with the heat is no joking matter. Every summer, we read stories of players having heat strokes. And with recent heat waves hitting the U.S., players of both the professional level and amateur level must be made aware of its effects.

And what better way to do that than have professional football players talk to us? Chargers fullback Derek Watt and his two brothers, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt and Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt, teammed up with Gatorade to form the Beat the Heat program.
