Is J.J. Watt the next athlete turned entertainer?

Texans fans who can't get enough J.J. Watt in their lives via his ubiquitous presence on social media or commercials are in for a treat tonight.

Houston's star defensive end will co-host the CMT Music Awards (on CMT, of course) at 7 p.m. alongside Fox sideline reporter and "Dancing with the Stars" host Erin Andrews.

Watt has been a presenter before, but this will be his first time as a host for what is billed as the "loudest night in country music."

"Having presented at the CMT Awards last year, I got a first-hand look at the energy and excitement of the event and I am very excited to be involved in a much larger capacity this year as co-host," Watt said.
