J.J. Watt Biography

Justin James “J.J.” Watt is a retired professional football defensive end widely regarded as one of the greatest defensive linemen in NFL history. Drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans, Watt played 12 seasons in the league, primarily with the Texans before concluding his career with the Arizona Cardinals. During his career, he earned three AP NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards, multiple Pro Bowl and All-Pro selections, and set franchise records for sacks and forced fumbles. Known for his versatility, Watt occasionally played defensive tackle and even caught three offensive touchdowns in 2014.

Following his retirement, Watt transitioned to broadcasting, joining CBS Sports as a studio analyst on NFL coverage. His accolades include induction into the Houston Texans Ring of Honor in 2023 and selection to the Houston Sports Hall of Fame Class of 2026. He is widely anticipated to be a future Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee.

Off the field, Watt is a dedicated philanthropist and founder of the Justin J. Watt Foundation, which provides after-school athletic opportunities for children in safe, supportive environments. He has also pursued sports investments, including involvement with international soccer clubs, and advocates for the growth of U.S. soccer.
