The second J.J. Watt was released by the Houston Texans, Packers fans began crossing their fingers.
Houston did their five-time All-Pro defensive end a favor and allowed him to leave to finally reach his ultimate goal. The Packers would be the obvious pick among many within the state because Watt isn't just from Wisconsin. He is arguably one of the most beloved athletes from the state, being from Pewaukee. I would put Watt right above Joe Thomas, the six-time All-Pro from Brookfield that retired in 2017.
If the Packers brought Watt to Green Bay, he would instantly be loved by all of Packer Nation.
