One of the best defensive players in NFL history is hanging up his cleats after the 2022 season. Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt revealed that Sunday was the last home game of his career in a shocking retirement announcement.

Watt, 33, announced the news on Twitter. Watt shared two pictures in the post. The first featured Watt with his wife, NWSL player Kealia Watt, and son, Koa. The second picture featured Watt with Kealia, Koa and Watt's parents.

In the post, Watt wrote Sunday was Koa's first NFL game. Then he dropped his retirement note, saying it was also "My last ever NFL home game."

4. Won A Walter Payton Award

There's a high bar for that award, so good on him.
On sportsradio yesterday I heard a quote from him where he got his drive by convincing himself that (paraphrasing) " Somebody has to be the best football player in the world; why not me."
And, that perspective put him in the conversation.
