I’d be in the mold of him and Justin Smith.

“I’m kidding. I’ve never played defense in my life.”

My guess is he’d be starting for half of the teams at LT.

DPOY of the year. And if the voters werent so focused on offense, he’d get many MVP votes too!

Watt is extremely fun to watch. I think he could play both ways and make it happen. He’s got the potential to be that good no matter what position he plays.

Mad props.

Who’s got two thumbs and a J.J. Watt man-crush?

This guy!

I know it’s ridiculous and not worth the injury risk, but wouldn’t it be awesome to see Vernon Davis as a pass-rushing defensive end?

If Watt has hands he’d probably make a pretty good goal-line tight end, like the Pats used to do with Mike Vrabel.

Some of those freak athletes (Orlando Pace, Jonathan Ogden, Willie Roaf) had 10+ year careers, and got paid well for the time.

J.J. Watt would make a hell of a tight end if he wanted to be.
