He has earned the Defensive Player of the Year three times and made five All-Pro teams.

HOUSTON – The Houston Texans lost arguably the team’s top wide receiver and cornerback in a matter of hours. “It’s obviously unfortunate for our team,” said Watt. “Two of our better players on the team, obviously, so it’s unfortunate.”“It’s a situation that those two guys – they stuck up to what, I guess, went down with that.
