Wisconsin Badgers legend J.J. Watt was inducted into the Houston Texans’ Ring Of Honor at halftime of the team’s Week 4 win yesterday.
The opponent was the Pittsburgh Steelers, which maybe wasn’t a coincidence. Brother T.J. Watt was in the building with the opposing team, while the rest of the Watt family also traveled to Houston for the occasion.
The Texans gave J.J. Watt the honor after he played 10 seasons with the franchise, during which he earned five First Team All-Pro Honors, made five Pro Bowls and became arguably the best defensive player of the generation.
He retired after finish his No. 12 NFL season in 2022. He walked away with 586 total tackles, 195 tackles-for-loss, 114.5 sacks, 27 forced fumbles, two interceptions and two touchdowns.
Here are all the sights and sounds from Watt’s induction on Sunday:
