Steamrolling offensive tackles with a powerful hand punch, a deft speed rush and polished pass-rushing moves, Texans star defensive end J.J. Watt has regained his dominant form.
Watt has excelled to the point where he's in the conversation for a fourth NFL Defensive Player of the Year award along with NFL Comeback Player of the Year honors.
It's been an epic return for Watt after dealing with a broken leg last year and a herniated disk two years ago that required surgeries to repair the damage.
"I don't blame anybody who didn't know if I was going to be the same again because there were times I didn't know," Watt said.
