[@lostmotel6156]

There was a stretch from 2012-2015 were Watt was one of, if not the most, dominant players in the game. Nearly unblockable, even when he was getting double teamed. During those 4 seasons: Multiple 20+ sack seasons, led the league in tackles for loss 3 of those 4 seasons, 2 Defensive Player of the Year awards and completely reinvented the DT/DE position. His ability as a D-lineman to knock down passes at the line of scrimmage was like nothing the league had ever seen before or since.

[@DNReacts]

Great comment, thanks for all this info. Have to agree re the stats, sounds really dominant and also, what a player!

[@lostmotel6156]

@@DNReacts Indeed! Sadly he struggled with injuries after 2015. Had he kept up that pace and not had the injuries I think he probably would go down as one of the top 5 greatest defenders of all time and probably in the top 25 all time players overall.

He still refuses to admit he was wrong about Mahomes. The show he is on is a debate show, and he is on the wrong side of the argument most of the time; but he doesn't mind being one of the most hated sports talking heads on T.V. because it's made him relevant and wealthy.

[@abileneferguson]

J.J. Watt was a "walk-on" college player at the University of Wisconsin (a "walk-on" is a player who was not recruited by the college and did not receive a scholarship to play football - he "walked-on" to the tryout field to perform for the coaches as a regular student of the college during an open tryout session that coaches sometimes offer). There is a really good video of veteran NFL Quarterback and two-time super bowl champion Eli Manning attempting to "walk on" (in disguise) at Penn State - it is a great video extolling the college walk-on player(s) and what they bring to the game --- you might want to do a reaction on that video, as it really helps round out "college football" in the U.S.

[@DNReacts]

Ah okay, this sounds really interesting! Thanks for this. Will have to get this one of the list for sure. Sounds different. Appreciate the context too, crazy given his size that he was a walk on college player. Maybe got into things later than typical. Appreciate the comment

[@gregcable3250]

A bit over 6'5 3/8"and weighing 295lbs (a bit over 132kg). Very (very) athletic and just retired. TJ Watt, his brother, is now the best defensive player in the league (Pittsburgh Steelers).

[@RaiderPowerTTU]

He just bought a minority share in Burnley. Hell of a player here in Houston. I think he could still play, but guy is smart to get out before his body completely broke down. Definitely a hall of famer.

[@lostmotel6156]

Also, the voice of the guy criticizing Watt in the background is Skip Bayless. He's one of the US' biggest and also most disliked sports talking heads. Dude is a straight up troll and turd merchant who has somehow parlayed his terrible takes into a massively successful career. There's so many hilarious videos out there of people juxtaposing his takes where he'll say something one day and then completely contradict himself later (over and over).

What's insane is he created that type of production and those career/season numbers, despite the fact that he spent so much time injured. He was always a hard luck guy when it came to injuries, but kept putting up monster numbers despite playing fractions of a season. He was just an absolute beast.

[@TakahashiKira1]

JJ Watt was a one-in-a-million linebacker to come out in the last decade. When he was first drafted, Texans fans hated the draft-- they booed the selection. That man won the heart of the city in an instant. He was dominant. He had the drive-- the hustle. He loved playing football. When the city was aching from a catastrophic flood, he put us on his back and helped. Unconditionally. He is a legend in the city of Houston. He is a legend on the field. He is a legendary person. None like him. #99 has moved on from the field, but no doubt did he leave a presence behind.

[@diamondfinder8933]

That critic you guys mentioned, his name is Skip Bayless, he's pretty well known for controversial/bad takes.

JJ just retired this year. He’s as close as we get to an actual super hero. When hurricanes destroyed Texas, JJ raising millions of dollars, putting up the first million on his own, to help families in need. He comes back to his home in Wisconsin to do charity work, along with his other two NFL playing brothers, TJ & Derek. At his peak, JJ could not be stopped. He scored nearly every way possible and took a mediocre team to the playoffs, often while playing through horrible injuries, such as tearing his groin muscle off the bone, or tearing his triceps muscle and still playing.

On top of being the best defensive player on the planet for about 5 years, he is also one of the nicest guys ever put on this earth. Huge role model of mine growing up

[@koltonjurss4779]

He played for my college team the Wisconsin Badgers

[@thereallyst]

Last season was his last. He retired. He was losing to father time. He was constantly injured and losing a step...

Peace guys and hope you're well. Video suggestion. On KZbin you'll find a video called "Rebels of Oakland." It's about the A's and the Raiders from the 1970s. In case you're not aware, the Raiders have won three Superbowls (77, 81, 84); but, they were a dominant force then with their biggest rival being the Pittsburgh Steelers with Terry Bradshaw; and the A's won three CONSECUTIVE World Series (72, 73, 74). This video is long (it was originally an HBO or Showtime production) so you'd have to heavily edit or break it up into manageable pieces for your channel. It's great at showing how sports teams can match the culture of the area they are located (Oakland being right across the bay from San Francisco and SF was "wine & cheese" while Oakland is "motorcycles and beer." A great quote from that video is a local sportscaster describing the Raider fans saying "they'll pass around a bottle and when it's empty, they throw it at someone." Not to be a spoiler alert; but, back then, the A's fought each other and the Raiders fought everyone. Some big names on those teams ... Reggie Jackson, Catfish Hunter, Ken Stabler, and John Madden coached the Raiders. I really think you'd enjoy this one ... GREAT history and good entertainment. If you made it to the end of this novel ... I owe you two a beer. Cheers!

Thanks for this, sounds great! We’ve been getting some long form content requests so will add this one to the discussion too. And I’ll definitely take that beer 😅 Appreciate the comment.

[@djjoshski]

for video ideas you guys could watch NFL top 100 2022 players, good video idea to pick a plyer

Unfortunately, JJ was "Mr. Glass" after his first few seasons - constantly injured despite his talent. He's only 34 and just retired, and he could've been even more prolific were he not so injury prone. With only 16 (now 17) games in a regular season, he missed 42 games in his last 6 seasons due to injury. Just brutal for such an amazing player.

[@stanreaper3080]

You all should consider doing Ndamukong Suh highlights (or lowlights to most people). There's a reason why he was probably the most hated and vilified player on the league for like 5 years, him and Burfict. The dude was just straight nasty coming into the league. Dirty, old school "rip the QB's head off" kinda guy who needs to be tamed with fines and suspensions in the modern NFL.

[@superbowlofselfabuse]

"One of a kind" mannnn I hope you lads cover his younger brother TJ who plays the same position for Pittsburgh. JJ is a bit bigger, TJ is less big, but has better hips, better bend and is much more fluid. Even if you don't do a react video, you'd be doing yourselves a huge disservice if you don't watch his younger brother's highlights. Total freak like JJ. And he's in his prime right now even.

[@Pressplayboy]

Miss him In houston 😭he was a monster on a bad franchise

[@DNReacts]

Can imagine, hard when you see a beast like that leave!

[@Pressplayboy]

@@DNReacts yes and it was even harder when the coach broke up such a great team that could’ve went far. Jj finally had a really good offense to ease the defensive load. DeShaun Watson (more mobile , slightly less accurate pat mahomes) and deandre hopkins (best hands in nfl) . DHop ended up moving to Arizona and jj ended up moving there as well and at that point it was over for that Texans era. And I remember when JJ first arrived it was so sketchy because we drafted a Wisconsin dline man in the first round but he quickly grew on the city and was so amazing for the team and city.

[@saremile]

In 2017 he started a fundraiser for Hurricane Harvey victims... original goal was $200,000 he ended up with over $46 Million....so yeah great guy😊

[@hoeluveem]

Are you guys only reacting to retired guys? Because JJ Watt has a little brother, TJ, who isn’t as dominant, but just as relentless. TJ actually tied the single season sack record with 22.5 sacks. You guys should check him out too!

[@charlesbrown4483]

If you guys want some more defensive players, I got two for you that every football fan adores. Brian and Brian, who were both linebackers. That is, Brian Cushing and Brian Urlacher. Cushing actually played on the Houstons with JJ Watt for some time. Urlacher is a legendary LB who embodies 2000's football. Both of them are absolute psychopaths lol.

[@kentzepick4169]

Incredible player. Unfortunately, injuries hurt his play in his later years.

[@dylanmaddern8309]

You guys should do rg3 rookie year

[@a-train69420]

3:10 the voice of that "critic" you are hearing is Skip Bayless, who is well-known for having terrible opinions and basically universally disliked in the American sports world. He now has a show with Shannon Sharpe. Maybe would be funny to see y'all react to a video of his worst takes and controversial comments.
