Wisconsin Great JJ Watt Received Taxidermied Badger From Fan

Five-time All-Pro and former Wisconsin defensive end JJ Watt announced his retirement from professional football last week, effective at the end of the Cardinals’ season.

Watt’s final game will come this Sunday against the 49ers.

Since Watt announced his retirement, he has received an assortment of gifts from his fans. However, his most recent gift might be near the top of the list.

Watt tweeted out a picture of a box that contained a stuffed badger from a taxidermy, which is certainly an ode to his time at Wisconsin.

This certainly has to be one of the most unique gifts that Watt has received across his career, and will be difficult to top as the presents keep rolling in amid the defensive end’s upcoming retirement from football.
