Koa’s first ever NFL game.

The defensive end received a farewell from both media figures who worked with J J Watt inside the Cardinals’ facility and those who loved his tape from afar.
Former professional sportsmen including linebacker Emmanuel Acho, quarterback Matt Cassel, and MLB pitcher C.C. Sabathia showed respect for J J Watt.
Charles James II, a former cornerback for the Texans, commended J J Watt for making his own life simpler.
J J Watt distinguished himself in the NFL by excelling on and off the field, winning awards for both. He was chosen for the Pro Bowl five times, was awarded the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year in 2017, is a five-time first-team All-Pro, is 26th all-time in sacks with 111.5, and is a five-time first-team All-Pro. He will exit the game as one of the best defensive players ever.
Despite the fact that the 33-year-old J J Watt had a solid last season and may have qualified for the Pro Bowl, his outstanding performance from 2012 to 2015 secured his place in the Hall of Fame despite the injuries he suffered in the years that followed.
