Watt shares awesome story about Philip Rivers Philip Rivers announced on Wednesday that he is retiring from the NFL, and tributes to the veteran quarterback immediately began pouring in from. Also: 'You'll hear from J.J. Lopez (@LopezOnSports) January 16, 2021 Watt is apparently in the same boat as Watson and doesn’t agree with how this crucial offseason has been.
With the help of his 5th grade teacher Mrs. Keefe, JJ never let the doubts of others stop him. From the age of 5, JJ and his two younger brothers, Derek and T.J., were given life-forming, words of wisdom from their dad every day before leaving for school. The phrase was powerful in its simplicity – act like somebody. The Watt family mantra was much bigger than football. Act like somebody was about creating a mindset that with every day, with every action, you tell the world something about yourself. It’s a reminder to ensure that you’re staying positive, being respectful, acting as a leader, and carving out your own destiny rather than being a follower.
The ritual saying created a bond between the three bothers that meant more than words. It’s a connection that runs deeper than football and the University of Wisconsin and roots itself in their family – a way of life. The brothers rely on each other for help and support, which is why, in honor of this significant bond, each of them has the Chinese symbol for family tattooed over their upper left chest with the initials J (Justin), D (Derek), and T (Trent).
J.j. Watt Trade
To say that this season didn’t go as planned for the Houston Texans would be a massive understatement.
This season saw the Texans fire head coach and general manager Bill O’Brien after an 0-4 start to the year. O’Brien, of course, had traded DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona for David Johnson — an oft-injured running back who hadn’t been impactful for three years. On top of that, the Miami Dolphins owned the Texans’ first-round pick for 2021.
So with all that in mind, it’s probably O’Brien who should have been apologizing to franchise quarterback Deshaun Watson for the 4-12 season.
Instead, J.J. Watt made a point to let Watson know they let him down.
NFL Films released postgame video from Sunday’s Week 17 loss to the Tennessee Titans. Watt walked off the field with Watson and personally apologized for the wasted season.
He said:
“Good job, brother. I’m sorry. I’m sorry. We wasted one of your years. I’m sorry.”

Watson felt that they should’ve had 11 wins this season, and it’ll be a tough road back as the Dolphins will pick third in Houston’s place this year.
