J.J. Watt is a workout warrior, and although he is hardly the only one in the NFL, he does want a message to be known to the different bases on what they see in workout videos in the offseason.
On Saturday, the Arizona Cardinals defensive player posted a video of him doing squats with what seemed to be at least 125 pounds on each side of the bar. He then took one of the plates off the bar and showed that it’s actually just 2.5 pounds.
Chandler Jones loved the video, and replied to Watt’s tweet, saying “Big facts.”
Watt had 5.0 sacks in 2020 despite starting all 16 games. That’s his lowest output in a season where he didn’t miss a game.
