JJ Watt tells Antonio Brown to haze his younger brother TJ

MADISON, Wis. (AP) — Fairly or not, T.J. Watt will draw comparisons to his big brother when he gets to the pros.

Thus T.J. Watt comes to Pittsburgh with room to grow, considering that he made his switch in 2015 and only became a starter a year ago. So the Texans superstar does not want Steelers players to take it easy on their first-round draft pick – quite the opposite.

Watt isn’t going to win with speed very often but he uses his hands well, never takes a play off and he’s incredibly athletic for his size.

Porter, James Farrior, Lawrence Timmons, LaMarr Woodley, and ageless wonder James Harrison have all keyed Super Bowl runs.

Personally, I think both positions have merit here. The Green Bay Packers traded their first pick and will start the Second Round on Friday night. Having your name called by Commissioner Roger Goodell is turning into a coming-of-age ritual for the Watts from Wisconsin.

T.J. Watt, the first Wisconsin linebacker to be picked in the first round of the NFL Draft, has played on the defensive side of the ball for less than two years. T.J. Watt might just be in for a little more hazing that day.

“I knew schematically it was a great fit for me and that’s why I was intrigued by them so much”, Watt said.

Alex Del Barrio covers the Houston Texans for Sportsradio610.com and is the color commentator for the Houston Dynamo. The middle Watt brother, Derek of the Chargers, was able to channel the family trait of toughness into blocking as a fullback, a nice avenue away from the limelight.

J.J. and T.J. ended up playing similar positions. “I’m scratching the surface. I’m just trying to replicate what he does”. But they passed, and Watt said it didn’t faze him.

“If it were to happen now, I would be absolutely ecstatic”.

In the span of a year and a half, Conner went from being diagnosed with cancer in the fall of 2015, to landing a spot on an NFL roster at the NFL Draft. No prying lenses. No mom-approved discount suits. T.J. Watt was ranked No. 1 in sacks (12) in the Big Ten and No. 12 all of Division 1 college football (FBS).

T.J. Watt is now dating Dani Rhodes, who plays soccer for the Badgers. “The countless hours of cooking and driving us to and from practice, it’s all paid off”.

Jordan Plocher, Pro Football Focus: “T.J”.

The oldest Watt brothers tweeted Thursday night about TJ Watt being drafted.

“It’s gonna be awesome and I’m gonna be real anxious”, Watt said. I can set the edge really good, and I can get after the passer.
