JJ Watt Broken Leg Raises Career Question: Will He Ever Be at His Best Again?
There is a picture of J.J. Watt's leg from Sunday night's game, and we don't need to link to it. But the picture shows it all. Watt's knee bent in a way that isn't natural.
We're used to seeing Watt do superhuman things. Beat double-teams. Leap over tall tackles in a single bound. Raise millions of dollars for a beleaguered, storm-soaked city. The only thing Watt doesn't do is deflect bullets or command starships.
Most NFL players are not of this Earth, but Watt is one of the four or five most physically gifted ones. Yet we know, once again, that even these men of steel can be felled by a single awkward move that tears a ligament—or worse.
