Defensive end J.J. Watt earned his third NFL Defensive Player of the Year award after his 2015 season in which he recorded 76 tackles and 17.5 sacks. His stellar play was one of the biggest reasons the Houston Texans recaptured the AFC South title and made it to the post season.
However, this season came with a cost as Watt spent the entire season battling injuries, which included a broken hand as well as five torn muscles.
The injuries brought up the question about the star players longevity in the league and waves were made when he hinted retirement could be closer than people think.
