Since arriving in 2011 as the eleventh pick overall in that spring's NFL Draft, I think it's safe to say that the city of Houston has seen no bigger sports in the football realm than J.J. Watt. honestly, it's really not even close, and I would say the only athlete overall that gives Watt a run for his money is Jose Altuve. When you factor in the combination performance, personality, and philanthropy, it's J.J. Watt.
So on Sunday, it should be a special day out at NRG Stadium, as Watt gets inducted into the team's Ring of Honor, joining the other true Houston football legend of this century, Andre Johnson, and the founder of the Texans, the late Bob McNair. Watt will go into the Ring of Honor in front of a likely sellout crowd, dozens of his former teammates, and his entire family, as the Texans play the Steelers, current employer of Watt's brother, T.J.
This is a day that we all knew would be coming at some point, but given the turmoil and toxicity behind the scenes when Watt left Houston in 2021, we didn't really know when. Fortunately, the franchise has come out of the dark, and all parties see this as the ideal time to put Watt in the red blazer tbat comes with Rung of Honor induction.4.
When Watt left in February of 2021, it was with a year left on his contract, a new head coach and GM joining the team, and amidst fresh Deshaun Watson trade demands. Watt went to the McNairs and requested his release, and ownership obliged, which led to this goodbye video from Watt: That Watt's time with the Texans was ending with a short video of him asking to leave is depressing to relive, largely because it reminds us that this all took place during the dark ages of Jack Easterby's tenure with the team. This was a goodbye that generated sadness, anger, and an unsatisfying lack of closure. Now, with Easterby gone and Watt's former teammate, DeMeco Ryans, as the head coach, all feels right again. This will be a nice bow on Watt's Texans saga.
