[@tonystarks6113]

JJ Watt has a bearskin rug in his den. The Bear isn't dead... it's just afraid to move. I heard JJ Watt once farted in a crowded elevator and everyone in the elevator apologized to him about it. Superman crippled himself on purpose so he wouldn't have to deal with JJ Watt.

[@noahgraglia8025]

Tony Starks this sounds like chuck norris

[@robertk2007]

You’ll be here all week. Don’t forget to tip your waitress

[@JerryLi]

He is really happy about winning the truck, you can see it in his face at the end :D

[@darkkthief1626]

No he was laughing at Jimmys joke

[@finarrykahn13]

Agreed.

[@BillsPodcast]

Just a small town boy, taking over the sports world. The epitome of humble. #rolemodel

[@nelsonquintanilla748]

Overrated

[@nuclearblackhole]

Nelson Quintanilla Yeah fucking right lol

[@KalEl7802]

In five years nobody is going to remember who he is.

[@elbertrobles8784]

Kal El Considering some troll comments are actually funny. I don't mind seeing one every now and then just to get a good giggle. However yours is just no bueno. If you're going to be a tool. At the very least put some effort to it -_-

[@Crazy-Horse-Tx.]

Please! Earl Campbell. Just dumb Kal EI

[@miguelon3638]

Such a humble dude. You just cant hate him

[@ill3stjuan]

Im a Ravens fan and this guy is my Favorite player in the league not in a Ravens uniform. I hope he gets a superbowl.

[@FuttBuckerson]

Same, how can you not like him? Badass and incredibly talented on the field, great guy off the field.

[@alanfitzpatrick2236]

+ill3stjuan Absolutely, this is a legend in the woks, just a rare breed. Great all around in all areas, what a character as well.

[@derekknox7722]

ill3stjuan I'm a 9er fan and he is my favorite player in ANY uniform.

[@deemeek8770]

I love that he said "Oprah rich."

[@slime8177]

JJ Watt is actually such a cool guy.

[@Flatbedcruz]

All he wants is a ring

[@LawPoppy]

Sadly the texans aren't good I hope he doesn't leave T.T

[@KWCline91]

David law Going from 2-14 to 7-9 sounds like an improvement. Gotta feeling they'll get back to being good within the next couple of years.

[@KWCline91]

David law Going from 2-14 to 9-7 sounds like an improvement. Gotta feeling they'll get back to being good within the next couple of years.

[@1CHILLYCHILLCHILL]

KWCline91 The Texans went 9-7, but that's probably what you meant.

[@KWCline91]

Julian Castro Right I mentioned that. Thanks anyway.

[@Thairish13]

"I've eaten burritos bigger than you" - Watt

[@HulkGotNikes]

you can't hate on him. what a beast

[@newsgirl132]

I just want to hug him.

[@MichelleMcGJensen]

Me too!!!

[@Dreamdancer11]

MetrazolElectricity That goes without saying....

[@yasharmj1717]

that laugh at the end LMAO, JJ Watt has started to become my favorite NFL player

[@THINKTVTIME]

Hes a funny guy, and the fact he had to GOOGLE what do rich people buy, kinda shows you hes just like us, I mean..... thats funny

[@KablyRyan]

gronk is very safe with his money as well, he has not spent a dime off of his contract, lives off of endorsement deals. side note, gronk and watt would make a god of a football player

[@marcosvalencia71]

believe it or not neither has Marshawn he only spends endorsement money

[@moonrocc5760]

+Marcos Valencia on skittles

[@franml]

He seems to be sooo cool and down to earth!!

[@BruceJC75]

He's just such a likable guy. If the Texans ever win the super bowl, he will be the reason they do. Either way he's gonna be a legend!

[@pearlyMILKtea]

JJ Watt is the man!!! Really wish I can meet him someday, such an amazing talent and person :)

[@Kritacul]

I've never heard a bad thing about this man on or off the field. But on the field, he is a aggressive as Ray Lewis and dominate as Reggie White. The humble and being frugal is great to see now a days. Great role model and wish more athletes were like him. God Bless him.

[@lukaskontilis5477]

YESSIR THAT IS OUR HOUSTON TEXAN RIGHT THERE! Just listen to all those records he's broken. MMHMM

[@Kittyboots423]

This guys the epitome of a main character in a football movie. Grew up in a small town by a modest hard working family where football was most likely the center of the community and worked his way up to the NFL where he would rise as one of the best. And to top it off he's also has the charisma and humility.

[@sammiesmith3454]

That man deserves to be MVP

[@matde100]

great humble guy

[@mattkonny9735]

When he started naming all of the achievements I'm just sitting here like: "My eighth grade coach let me play defense against the other teams last field goal in the fourth quarter of the last game when I we were down by 30"

[@MikeMike-ir3mr]

Matt Konny 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@TexasBrown713]

Black athletes take note, humble+frugal=likable and not bankrupt in 30 years

[@bbvibrabb]

That's a pretty big generalization

[@automaticcaptions]

Kevin Durant? Lebron James? Stephen Curry, Russell Wilson. Great men, doubt they going to be bankrupt anytime soon or in the future

[@MrrMuyaagi]

The majority of players in the NBA and NFL are black and you hear 2 or 3 stories every 5 years yet you want to make a racially charged comment...

[@MrrMuyaagi]

***** He's mixed, black father and white mother.

[@iRockSoLo19]

***** He's Black and White, Just like me, people like you are blind to the fact on how light his skintone is.

[@TheIsaacGraham]

JJ Watt for Mr. Incredible!

[@Deebo99]

Jj watt is so awesome! He is so humble.

[@user-fn7go9db1o]

I loved seeing him outside playing catch with people in the stands including people in the upper stands. Has one heck of an arm.

[@Nokin92]

hes an amazing player and seems to be a great guy off the field hard not to like

[@bepowerification]

what a nice guy. I hope money and success doesnt ruin his life.

[@seahawksfanftw2017]

All jj watt wants is a real quarterback on his team

[@accountburner4714]

Hey everyone it's a phony! A big fat phony!

[@seahawksfanftw2017]

Thomas Costello what phony

[@accountburner4714]

Na man I was just joking bc there's a lot of band wagoners now on the seahawks

[@umainebearman]

Thomas Costello No you where right. He wouldn't be able to name the last 5 coach or QBs on the seahawks without Google.

[@seahawksfanftw2017]

umainebearman if I was a bandwagon fan I would've delete this account and made a new account supporting the Patriots

[@ejmadrid7810]

Its not what he needs but its what he Deserves a Super Bowl Ring!

[@Chris56076]

Get this man on the Colts

[@stealthyassassin]

Is it not enough already you got our best wide receiver on your team Andre Johnson

[@snakebutcher]

stealthy .assassin he was a good decision too let go hes way too expensive to keep and didn't do us any good just need a qb and we're a super bowl team

[@snakebutcher]

MrTheBeast your right on the clowny part but the coaches are badass coming from a 2-14 season to 8-9 with pretty much the same players says alot

[@snakebutcher]

My bad 8-8

[@mychoclabwinston]

The guy is a freak of nature, athletically, but also a super awesome human being

[@Spliffbrain]

Such a class act.

[@Guy-4]

FUTURE ELK SLAYER Salty?

[@caleledford684]

I like this guy, seems like a down to earth guy. Probably does a ton a charity work. More athletes should be like him.

[@giovannisocci8793]

He is such a great guy.

[@iCompaqT]

how do you NOT love JJ Watt? Guy could have kicked your ass back in high school and you'd still like him. Hell of a guy.

[@michelleandpatch]

What is there not to love about JJ?!? So proud to be a Texans fan :D

[@Coastfog]

This guy is the epitome of football: Hope he gets his ring one day.

[@ELidiak2014]

As a loyal Texans fan, I am so proud to say that he belongs to us :)

[@RajSingh-tb7fk]

I want to see gronk and him fight

[@anthonylessard-smith134]

such an intense beast inside the field and such a nice and funny guy outside the field it's just weird how it is different

[@LillyLotusMonstera]

omg I love this man!

[@philjohnson9372]

Wisconsin Badger!

[@raynihunter5076]

I love everything about this except the part where he said he was going to be old in Wisconsin. No sir, Texas is your home now and Texas is where you grow old at :)

[@mittao86]

LOL google it, everytime i google something its about something else

[@josephreed6746]

A true class act.

[@RhymesWithCarbon]

Google "JJ Watt's house". You'll be pleasantly surprised, and you'll realize what a good human being this guy is.

[@thuymyers]

JJ is so adorable

[@joevi2593]

Draft Mariota to the Texans and JJ could get himself a ring.

[@angie111598]

Saw him in person at the texans game! He's huge!! #texans #turndownforwatt

[@JasonfromMinnesota]

DOPE !! "what do rich people buy?"

[@ndknight23]

worth every effin penny. not many athletes who go out and produce like he has. dont ever let him go houston

[@erxkeel]

JJ! awesome player.

[@itsjustbaseball1986]

They paid off a super bowl 💍 lol

[@coltedmunds5532]

You know someone is to be respected when you scroll through the KZbin comment section and see nothing negative about him.

[@jasetwells9335]

Not a Texans fan. But this dude is a monster

[@tacticalsapper]

As long as we live where many starve and have no chance of getting an education, there should be no question what to do with too much money.

[@spartan4745]

Can you imagine if he was playing as he is now, but back in the 50's with their rules and lack of comparable talent? It would be criminally abusive to put anyone from back then against this guy.

[@ReeneZon]

He won't even have to buy my phone number

[@emeraldcrusade5016]

JJ Watt has the looks of a stereotypical jock, but in reality he has a humble heart like Wilson and Luck. :)

[@norav.916]

Jj is awesome

[@RV2636]

Great guy

[@sergebaron9086]

I'm a black man I love this guy jj .

[@TheTrippleTKA]

You have this guy and you you have Gronk. Two of the best in their positions with great character and role models. Then you have Aldon Smith and Hernandez playing same positions as those 2, with lots of talents but...

[@beefcake248]

He seems like such a good guy.

[@zanebrown1728]

jj.....superman........megatron.....beastmode.......obj.....gronkowski......sherman all on one team if that team doesn't get like 10 superbowl rings in a row something would be wrong

[@zanebrown1728]

superman=cam newton bruh bruh

[@zanebrown1728]

never heard any of the espn reporters call him that xD

[@Ali-yc3rb]

+zane brown yea i know but i forgot but you need a solid defense aswell not just jj and sherman

[@zanebrown1728]

i was just naming a few im not going to type a whole list of cb's fs's ss's and the whole d line plus 96% of people aren't going to know who cameron heyward is or who patrick peterson is(that one should be easy)

[@zanebrown1728]

ed reed terrell sugs ray lewis (for the fellow raven fan)

[@orionrandy]

haha I get why he was laughing he wanted a qb instead for my Houston Texans

[@alexsharrock8199]

i literally grew up 15 minutes away from the number 1 defensive player in the world small world

[@tanakasigauke5596]

That Jj guy has potential.

[@miggidymark]

His team finished 2-14.....He needs to give that money back.

[@MichelleMcGJensen]

Try 9-7. Do your research before posting stats. You will appear to be less of an idiot!

[@miggidymark]

Michelle Jensen He doesn't play for the Titans?

[@paulvaughan2744]

miggidymark ??

[@MichelleMcGJensen]

You have just proven you are an idiot. The Tennessee Titans are 2-14. The HOUSTON TEXANS who JJ Watt defends are 9-7 . Don't offend me or his fans with your uneducated comments please. Research101 = Google.

[@miggidymark]

Michelle Jensen So....is that a no?

[@luf4rall]

buy art and real estate because those usually appreciate in value.

[@12345balla12345]

J.J's head is too small for his enormous body lol

[@spiritblue9]

I love JJ Watt ❤️. this is how all pro football players should be !

[@joejohnson678]

He knows exactly what he needs and money can't buy it. Rings.

[@tyzxcj34]

This guy is a freak on the field

[@bronsontaylor8536]

JJ JUST GOT VOTED THE BEST IN THE NFL BY HIS PEERS. WHOOOOOOOOOOEEEEE 😆😆😆!!!!!!

[@halo4019]

I saw this man at my school I was to shy to say hello

[@TheAnimalhouse96744]

First thing I would do if I had that much money, I'd pay off all my student loans.

[@Publiclighthouse]

Damn. I didn't realize he was so likable.

[@seanallen9044]

You know speaking of truck put here (houston) we see a bunch of him in ford truck commercials and he says "ford the official truck of jj watt and the Houston texans" and he doesn't drive a truck he drives an audi

[@rush3329]

He better get MVP of the NFL

[@kiangibson7571]

Players like Dez Bryant need to learn how to be like JJ Watt.

[@thebigguycia4033]

Great football player, sad to see him on a sorry team like the Texans where he'll probably never see a ring. Sort of reminds me of Romo, but at least Romo might have a shot at a ring sometime in the future.

[@Deebo99]

Hahaha you must be stupid cowboys have no chance they always drop the ball when it comes to playoffs

[@saziyesimsek6442]

+Tig “Tig Time” Welder lkf5{>uzkbc

[@hdlight]

He the real mvp.

[@anoldgryphon]

Smart guy!!!

[@imoyshi126]

Captain America

[@HyperSole]

First. And JJ is a beast!

[@man0fst33l91]

You know your special kind of player when fans from other teams want the best for you. I hope he gets at least two rings in his life time ... One for a Super Bowl the other when he gets married. Hopefully has kids

[@808mitch]

All he needs is a Super Bowl ring. That's something $100 million can't buy 💍💍💍

[@jaredbaux7119]

Unfortunately the Texans will never know what that means.

[@ashlynnsmith7018]

+Jared Baux ahahha im a Texan but....it's true....also don't talk about jj like that

[@jaredbaux7119]

+Ashlynn Smith Hay if I could have a afc team Texas would be the team.

[@ashlynnsmith7018]

+Jared Baux is that a good thing...😂😂

[@Ali-yc3rb]

for 50 k you can buy a legit super bowl ring from broke ex nfl players

[@BryonLetterman]

I hate Houston but he's probably the greatest guy in the NFL

[@josemeza763]

and we hate Kansas

[@marcussegura395]

+Jose Meza truuuuuuuu and besides we have osweiler so we gonna kick there ass

[@TheSupermanFilms]

Wait 20 and a half sacks I don't watch football much but how do you get half of a sack?

[@ryanbishop5341]

Top players can sack the qb at once

[@phillezeagles123]

if 2 players hit the qb at the same time

[@noahgraglia8025]

I live in Wisconsin and I can say basically all the Wisconsin stereotypes are true

[@BinaryOptionRomaniaBOR1]

Man this guy is funny

[@BryonLetterman]

Come to Kansas City, JJ.

[@josemeza763]

nope he will stay with us for a long time HOUSTON TEXANS

[@randythenatural3876]

+Jose Meza he has talent doh it's sad to see it waisted on the Texans 😳

[@TurfDoe]

+Bryon Letterman Like anybody wants to live in KC

[@kiangibson7571]

If I were him after the contract in Houston runs out I would sign with the very best team and try to get to the super bowl because that is really what matters.

[@FISHANE84]

MVP

[@tongzhao602]

He seems a good athlete !

[@rodrigoa1990]

Man, I don't care in which team, I just hope he gets a ring in the future..

[@famguy218]

Pewaukee isn't a small town it's a suburb of Milwaukee.

[@famguy218]

+PapaGeorg10 it's still a suburb of Milwaukee. I know suburbs that have like 4000 people and are insanely rich. I know people from towns of like one or two thousand and some from towns of hundreds. 13,000 plus being a suburb isn't that small
