Houston Texans to add JJ Watt to their Ring of Honor this season

Now that his career has officially come to a close, the Houston Texans announced today they will add JJ Watt to their Ring of Honor on October 1.

Former Wisconsin Badger J.J. Watt announced his retirement after the 2022 NFL season, capping off a Hall Of Fame-worthy 12-year career.

Watt’s career will go down as one of the best ever from a Wisconsin product. He was a three-time Defensive Player Of The Year, a five-time participant in the Pro Bowl and a five-time first-team All-Pro. While injuries defined much of the latter half of his career, his peak in Houston from 2012-2015 was one of the best four-year stretches the sport has ever seen.

Now that his career has officially come to a close, the Houston Texans announced today they will add Watt to their Ring of Honor on October 1.

Watt’s Houston career ended after 10 seasons. He played in 128 games during that time, recording a whopping 531 tackles, 172 tackles-for-loss, 282 quarterback hits, 25 forced fumbles, 2 interceptions and 3 touchdowns.

Watt will be honored on the day his brother T.J. and the Pittsburgh Steelers visit town.
