After missing 10 games last season with a shoulder injury, JJ Watt appears to be back in mid-season form — and we haven’t even reached training camp yet.
It all started with his recreation of the ol’ Patrick Mahomes-to-Tyreek Hill “He’s down there somewhere” meme. Watt posted a picture of himself at Arizona Cardinals minicamp Wednesday apparently throwing a football very far. And he replaced Hill in the caption with teammate DeAndre Hopkins — an equally good option to have on the receiving end of a prayer.
For some reason (engagement), the DraftKings Twitter account thought to troll Watt by quote-tweeting the post with the caption “Intercepted.”

Well, that backfired.
Not even three minutes later, Watt busted through the line and hit the daily fantasy site where he typically hurts most opponents…the pocket. He posted a screenshot of DraftKings’ stock chart over the last year, which shows the precipitous drop many companies have experienced in 2022. And the caption…
you might want to think about intercepting some profits sometime soon… https://t.co/HiGkq6A1X0 pic.twitter.com/N68BXLZe8u

Ouch.
If this is how Watt is coming this year, he might get his first double-digit sack season since 2018.
