JJ Watt Is Going To Be Wearing A Different Uniform When The 2021 NFL Season Arrives
JJ Watt who is a defensive end is going to be wearing a different uniform when the 2021 NFL season arrives!
Why?
Houston has released him at his request.
JJ Watt was drafted by the Texans in 2011 with the No. 11 pick and became the face of the franchise, winning three NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards from 2012 to '15. Watt is one of three players to win that award three times.
JJ Watt had this to say about parting ways with Houston!
"I have sat down with the McNair family and I have asked them for my release and we have mutually agreed to part ways at this time," Watt said in a video posted to Twitter. "I came here 10 years ago as a kid from Wisconsin who'd never really been to Texas before. And now I can't imagine my life without Texas in it. The way that you guys have treated me, besides draft night. I mean, you guys booed me on draft night. But every day after that, you treated me like family. And I truly feel like you're my family. “according to an article on espn.com by Sarah Barshop
"... I'm excited and looking forward to a new opportunity, and I've been working extremely hard. But at the same time, it is always tough to move on. And I just want you guys to know that I love you. I appreciate you. I appreciate the McNair family for drafting me and giving me my first opportunity in the NFL." “according to an article on espn.com by Sarah Barshop
