JJ Watt unexpectedly rocked the NFL on Tuesday after announcing on Twitter that he plans to retire at the end of the 2022 season. For some, the news may have been enough to stop them in their tracks, but in the case of one of Watt’s youngest teammates, the situation warranted an even higher sense of urgency.
A day after his announcement, the Cardinals defensive end shared a story about receiving a FaceTime from an unknown caller shortly after tweeting his decision. Watt told reporters Wednesday that he didn’t answer the call because he didn’t recognize the number, only to have the same caller send a text with a voice memo along with a photo moments later.
