NFL gets another Watt

January 3, 2017

NFL to get another Watt as Badgers’ OLB T.J. enters draft … Wisconsin junior OLB T.J. Watt announced earlier today that he will school a year early and enter his name in the 2017 draft. Watt, of course, is the younger brother of Houston’s J.J. Watt, the three-time NFL defensive player of the year. Watt is coming off a breakout year with the Badgers as he racked up 10.5 sacks to earn first-team all-Big Ten and All-America honors. While he plays as hard as anyone in the country, there still are some questions about Watt’s straight-line speed which could drop him down a tad in the draft so how well he runs at the combine will be especially important to his final grade.
