The Watts
Philanthropists. Brothers. Champions.
J.J. and T.J. Are
Champions
J.J. made the Watt name synonymous with greatness.
He had a groundbreaking 11-year pro football career playing for the Houston Texans and the Arizona Cardinals before retiring in 2022. T.J. followed in his brother’s bold footsteps as the first rookie starting linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 30 years. Both brothers are known for their passion, drive, and dedication.
The brothers made history on September 27, 2020, when they all played in the same game together, alongside their brother, Derek. This was only the second time in the history of the NFL that three brothers had played in the same game.

Whatever we go through, we're going to find a way to overcome it."
