There are some unknown factors surrounding defensive end J.J. Watt’s career with the Houston Texans, but it is still one of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s goals to deliver the former 2011 first-round pick a Super Bowl win.
The three-time Pro Bowler talked about how he envisions the franchise’s first Super Bowl win going.
“Hopefully he’s still here in this organization because I want to be the one that gives him that Super Bowl ring and be that quarterback he continues to talk about that gave him that first one,” Watson said. “That’s my idea. I definitely want him here, so that’s the plan for me and that’s my take on that, is to keep him in Houston. But this is a crazy business.”
The crazy business saw Watson’s biggest target, three-time All-Pro receiver DeAndre Hopkins, traded in the 2020 offseason. That was part of the moves of former coach and general manager Bill O’Brien, who was fired Oct. 5.
With a new general manager and a new coach incoming, there is no guarantee they will value Watt for his contributions to the franchise, but where he is entering his 11th season in the NFL.
“I know he still has time to play,” said Watson. “I don’t know his contract and stuff like that so I’m going to stay away from all that. New head coach, new GM, all that stuff is definitely new to me.”
Part of how Watson and Watt bonded was in the 2018 offseason when both were working through season-ending injuries. For Watt, it was a left tibial plateau fracture in Week 5 of 2017, and for Watson, it was a torn ACL sustained in practice on Nov. 2. In their rehabilitation process, their chemistry was formed.
Said Watson: “J.J.’s a big part of my career. From the time when we both had injuries, learning from him, watching him, seeing his production, his preparation, his leadership — just everything. He’s a big part of my career and I respect him and I thank him for everything that he’s done for me.”
Watson just wants another shot to do one big thing for Watt.
