JJ Watt shares favorite football memory with TJ Watt
JJ Watt is no longer on the football field, but he’s still talking football. Watt is an analyst for CBS Sports’ NFL coverage.
On Sunday, Watt was asked about his favorite football memory involving his brother, TJ Watt. For the elder Watt, there was an easy answer to this question.
“Handing [T.J.] the Defensive Player of the Year award as a former Defensive Player of the Year, that hug was a cool hug. That was one of the best hugs,” explained Watt.
