Hard Knocks has rare footage of J.J. Watt making a mistake

When “Hard Knocks” debuts tonight, you can expect to see plenty of Texans defensive end J.J. Watt.

What you might not expect to see is him making a mistake.

The HBO cameras have documented something rarer than a Yeti — Watt doing something outside the bounds of excellence.

Via Peter King of TheMMQB.com, the first episode includes footage of Texans coach Bill O’Brien challenging Watt and making him run a lap after jumping offsides in practice.

“Ever since O-B got here, he’s been trying to get me to jump offsides,” Watt told a teammate.
