J.J. Watt Not Thinking About Retirement
6 years agoHouston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is hoping that his two missed seasons due to injury will prolong his career and he's not thinking about retirement at all. "I don’t want to leave the game anytime soon … I wouldn’t trade it for anything else in the world," Watt said. The 30-year-old played in a combined eight games from 2016-17, but he responded by bouncing back for 61 tackles, 16 sacks and seven forced fumbles over a full season in 2018. While Watt may never hit the 20-sack mark ever again, he's still wildly effective as a pass rusher if he can stay on the field. You'll have to account for injury risk if you consider drafting him early in IDP formats.
