NFL star J.J. Watt gives shoutout to Arizona State University

J.J. Watt is one of the best players in the NFL, a dominant defensive force who amassed 20.5 sacks this past season.

He also caught three touchdown passes, forced four fumbles and recovered five. Oh, he picked off a pass for an interception, too.

By any metric, Watt is great. A Pro Bowler, he is in the Valley this week getting ready for Sunday’s game. And where did he do much of his training? In Tempe at Arizona State University.

Friday afternoon Watt tweeted out a thank you to the Sun Devils for their hospitality while paying homage to the late Pat Tillman.

Thank you to Arizona State for allowing me to workout at their facilities all week. Home of a Hero. #PT42 pic.twitter.com/vfxKhHqud7
