JJ Watt announces he’s joining NFL on CBS after announcing he was going to work at CVS

Former NFL defensive end J.J. Watt has a new job, but it took him two attempts for him to tell folks where he’s now working.

Watt, the future Hall of Fame pass rusher who played most of his career with the Houston Texans, shared on Thursday that he’s going to join the NFL on CBS crew on Sundays to break down what’s going on in the league.

At first, Watt joked that he had been hired at CVS (y’know, the convenience store) before playfully correcting himself that it’d be C-B-S he’d be joining, not C-V-S.

Watt joins former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan transitioning from the NFL to CBS Sports this offseason. NFL veteran Tiki Barber also got promoted with his work at CBS recently to a full season of booth work.

This should be a really cool opportunity for Watt to unleash his personality on a new stage, and NFL fans certainly won’t mind having the football great popping up on their televisions on Sunday again.
