Just two short years ago, the very idea that J.J. Watt was about to take the field gave opposing offenses legit reasons to lose sleep the night before the game. Then he got hurt… and hurt again. Now, many see Watt as a wounded lion; someone you shouldn’t take your eye off of, but not someone to base your entire game plan around.

Profootball Talk’s Peter King just ran a piece on potential comeback player of the year and Watt was firmly in the conversation.
