1. The Year Of J.J. Watt
Oh. My. Goodness.
There was not one player in all of football that took the world by storm (in a positive way) like that of J.J. Watt.
20.5 sacks, 78 tackles, 10 pass deflections, 4 forced fumbles, 5 fumble recoveries, 1 INT, 3 receiving TDs, 2 defensive TDs (pick-6, fumble recovery), 1 safety, and 1 blocked XP.

Absolutely mind-blowingly amazing. Historic numbers. Easily the best season of ANY player to EVER play this sport.
There are so many ways to spin this for Watt. As amazing of an NFL player he is when he’s on the field, he’s an ever better person and role model off the field.
There’s not a harder-working guy than J.J. Watt. There’s not an athlete in Houston that means more to their fans than J.J. Watt. There’s not a better overall person than J.J. Watt.
Words don’t give him justice.
I can’t write much more here.
2014 was the year of Watt. 2015 is very likely to be the same.
It’s early but this could be the decade of Justin James Watt.
Houston, we’re lucky to have him!
