Ever catch yourself thinking about how great @_TJWatt's 2016 season was?
We do.

Watt had quite the journey to stardom in Madison. After entering Wisconsin as a TE, he suffered a knee injury in 2014. In 2015, before the year began, Watt made the switch to LB and the rest is history. During his only full year at LB in 2016, Watt recorded 11.5 sacks, 63 total tackles, and was named as a First-Team All-Big Ten selection.
