J.J. Watt Shares Special Moment with Son at NRG Stadium

Before calling Sunday's game between the Houston Texans and Jacksonville Jaguars, CBS Sports announcer J.J. Watt, 36, enjoyed a heartfelt moment on the field with his 3-year-old son, Koa. This took place at NRG Stadium, where Watt played for Houston for a decade.

“It was the best. This was such a cool morning for me to have my wife, Kealia, and my son, Koa, out on the field. Obviously, so many memories in this building, so many great throwbacks, and to see him run into that end zone, the same one I’ve run into before, just unbelievable feeling this morning.”

Watt's Houston Legacy

Watt was a first-round pick from Wisconsin, chosen 11th overall by the Texans in the 2011 NFL Draft. Over ten seasons, he earned Defensive Player of the Year honors three times and was named First-team All-Pro five times.

Career Challenges and Health

Following the 2020 season, Watt requested his release from Houston and signed a two-year deal with the Arizona Cardinals. In 2021, he sustained a shoulder injury requiring surgery. A year later, he revealed he had suffered atrial fibrillation and underwent treatment that involved having his heart shocked back into rhythm.
