J.J. Watt’s reign of terror over the past few seasons has been the one constant for a tumultuous Houston Texans franchise. He may not be great with the ladies, but Watt currently leads the NFL in sacks with 13.5. He’s navigated the tricky waters of being an absolute monster on the field while maintaining a golden boy image off the field. His jovial personality can shield his ruthless on-field persona, but don’t be fooled, Watt is a one-of-a-kind trash-talker. The evidence is clear in this video contrasting Watt with noted badass Lawrence Taylor.
In his prime, LT’s trash-talking could make you feel bad for loving your own mother. His mean streak was unmatched by anyone in his era. Watching Watt and LT side by side really makes you reevaluate the human potential for intimidation. It’s a shame that LT didn’t have a Watt-like arm brace to make him look like an extraterrestrial creature. Although, the old school half-bar facemask is a nice touch for the human embodiment of horror.
If you ever had dreams of being an NFL quarterback, this video should help make you feel better about your own career choice.
