The three Watt brothers are all in the NFL, with J.J. on the Houston Texans, T.J. with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Derek with the Los Angeles Chargers. Despite the obvious success of the trio, they are still very brothers and have a brotherly rivalry like everyone else.
On Sunday, J.J. posted a video of him working on Twitter with the caption: “Trust yourself as much as I trust this green group.”
If you have a brother or sister, you sometimes know you can’t help but make a joke, and that’s exactly what J.J.’s brother
The little brother knew that a clap-back was coming after his comment, but again, if you have a brother, you sometimes know that you fair can’t help it.
T.J. wrote: “I know you’re going to roast me right now, but … I’m supposed to be impressed with this?”
Now the older Watt is definitely an impressive player. He’s giving, explosive on the field and his injury returns have been nothing short of incredible.
But for T.J., J.J. is above all his older brother and the linebacker of the Steelers continues to attack him as do the little brothers and sisters. (Except for my younger brother who’s probably reading this and who’s doing nothing wrong. Please don’t roast me.)
The Texans star seemed ready to face an insult, and the one he may have just had in his back pocket for a few weeks now.
He dropped the microphone with his response saying, “Am I supposed to be impressed with you” almost “defensive winner of the year?”
Harsh JJ. Great, but tough.
Pittsburgh Steeler was beaten for defensive player of the year last season by New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore.
A reminder that this is an award J.J. has won three times.
Maybe T.J. will learn his lesson not to make fun of his brother’s training videos, although I doubt it.
Knowing that it’s a fight he just lost, T.J. was humiliated and replied: “I’ll be at the gym if someone needs me …”
The Watt brothers tend to tease often on social media, usually about who their nephew’s favorite uncle is. No official word from who wins in the uncle category, but this round of social media beef definitely goes to J.J.
