- Dynamic trio! T.J. Watt has one of the best brotherhoods and inspirations in the league! All three Watt brothers honed their skills at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and went on to dominate in the NFL. T.J is a powerhouse linebacker with the Pittsburgh Steelers, Derek, a dynamic fullback free agent, and J.J., a 12-season veteran who made a name for himself with the Houston Texans, earning three NFL Defensive Player of the Year titles (in case you hadn’t heard of him *wink*).
- It runs in the family. Aside from his NFL siblings, T.J.’s parents were athletes too! His dad played football at Wisconsin, and his mom was a track and field star at the same university.
- Record Breaker Alert! T.J. Watt has entered elite company, matching Reggie White as the only players in NFL history to notch 90+ sacks in their first 100 career games. He achieved this milestone in last Sunday’s clash against the Cincinnati Bengals.
- Did you know T.J. Watt’s journey to football greatness started on the ice? From 2-11 years old, he was all about ice hockey before committing wholeheartedly to football. The decision paid off big time!
- Love GOALS! Shortly after earning his first NFL Defensive Player of the Year award in 2021, T.J. married standout soccer star Dani Rhodes.
