Deshaun Watson Says J.J. Watt Is 1 of the GOATs After Star's Release from Texans

Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson called J.J. Watt "one of the greatest of all time" after the defensive end's release from the organization Friday.

Watson posted his reaction on Twitter after Watt announced he'd mutually agreed to part ways with the Texans:

Deshaun Watson

Salute to one of the Greatest of All Time @JJWatt I appreciate you for all the work you put in and more importantly the person you are. Any team in the league will be better the day you out on their jersey! 1OVE my brother! MORE Glory ud83dude4fud83cudffe

They'd been teammates since Houston selected the three-time Pro Bowl quarterback in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft.
