Looks like JJ Watt is hanging it up

https://www.pennlive.com/sports/202...-announces-retirement-from-nfl-via-tweet.html

 

I know some people had the dream of him coming here for his final year to join his brothers but it wasn't to be. Too bad he was so injured during his career he was dominant when healthy.

 

Oh boy.

This has to make his brother think.

I don’t mean the Fullback either.

 

With the retirement today of JJ Watt 93.7 The Fan had people call in and name their top 10 defensive players of all time. Here are my ten picks.
10. Mel Blount
9. Night Train Lane
8. Alan Page
7. Jack Lambert
6. Bruce Smith
5. Dick Butkus
4. Deacon Jones
3. Joe Greene
2. Lawrence Taylor
1. Reggie White

 

Reverse that . LoL

 

Actually He was doing pretty good this year.

 

I just tried. It's impossible for Me. Is Reggie White really that much better than Deacon Jones??? See ....it impossible for Me.

 

It is impossible. I just kind of picked some names that I remember that were great defensive players. I mean there is Troy, Rod Woodson and many others that would be on some people's list and not others.

 

Agreed. So many Great D players just from this team, and then You add the whole NFL...very hard to do without leaving some greats off.

 

Maybe he will be a Steeler in 2023.

 

As a coach

 

I will remember him for his Great community service to the Houston area when they had the flooding. He raised so much money for so many people.He was also
A he'll uva football player.

 

Im going to go with top 5 ive seen play as its hard to judge guys ive never seen play. Every guy on the list besides jj watt played with good defenses.

5. Brian Dawkins
4. Jj watt
3. Troy Polamalu
2. Ray lewis
1. Aaron Donald

Was alive for reggie, rod, bruce and guys of late 80s/early 90s but not old enough to truly judge.
