Now, TJ has had an impressive career so far. So it’ll be interesting to see if he can catch up or surpass his brother. He has a lot of work to do but he definitely has the talent to make a Hall of Fame case as well.
With two games left in the season, we’re sure to see JJ Watt give it his all. He’s calling it a career while still at the top of his game, which means he’s ending it on his own terms. That seems to be the dream for a lot of professional athletes. Congrats to Watt for his stellar career and we can’t wait to see how the rest of TJ’s plays out.
