Houston Texans DE J.J. Watt was named to the NFL Network’s Top 100 list yesterday as he came in at No. 45 overall. The three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year was only able to suit up for eight games last season due to a torn pectoral muscle that he suffered in week eight.
Eight years and counting for @JJWatt!

Watt drops from No. 12 overall last season likely due to the fact that injuries held him out for the second half of the 2019 season. After a monster 2010 All-Big Ten season at Wisconsin, Watt was a first round pick of the Texans in 2011 and has been in Houston for the last nine seasons.
