Houston Texans:  J.J. Watt

The race is on to see who becomes the first Houston Texans player to reach the Hall of Fame. This was a difficult choice to make. Wide receiver Andre Johnson was the teams’ first genuine superstar. He produced seven seasons with over 1,000 yards, most of them with some pretty shaky quarterback play and retired with over 14,000 in his career. At the same time his competition is fierce, and he hasn’t reached the same levels as former teammate J.J. Watt.

There are stars in the NFL and then there are spectacles. Watt is one of the ultra-rare latter. People comes to games not to see the Texans but to see him. Only a very few pass rushers in history held such esteem. With good reason too. He’s a two-time Defensive Player of the Year, four-time Pro Bowler, has 81 career sacks and just turned 28-years old. The guy is just reaching his physical prime and arguably has already had a Hall of Fame-worthy career. Insane.
