Watt biography: In an interview with the Houston Chronicle on November 16, 2015—just prior to the Houston Texans facing the undefeated Cincinnati Bengals, Texans defensive end J.J. Watt was answering questions before the big game. Watt was already well-known for having a number of tackles and sacks against some of the NFL’s most elite players, including Andy Dalton. In the four games before this one, Watt had 18 total tackles and two sacks, along with one interception return for a touchdown in the 2011 AFC Playoffs. So, reporters asked Watt how he was able to get to Dalton, who was only 1-3 against Houston all-time. Was it his awareness of how they faced each other in college during the 2011 Rose Bowl between Watt’s Wisconsin Badgers and Dalton’s Texas Christian Horned Frogs? Was it hours of study? No, the answer was quite simple. “I don’t study quarterbacks like that. I just go get ‘em,” Watt said during the interview. Did you enjoy this excerpt?
