This offseason, Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt spent a day in his hometown of Pewaukee, Wis., getting to experience what it is like to be a firefighter.

Watt's dad, John, was a firefighter for nearly three decades before he retired.
My dad was a firefighter for 28 years. This summer I got a chance to experience it for a day. I think he enjoyed watching it kick my ass.
