J.J. Watt may possibly be the most exciting player in the NFL to watch, swimming through 300 pound giants to try and take down a target only a couple yards away. But picture this, Watt playing hockey, tackling people with reckless abandon and possibly, occasionally getting in a fight or two. That’s a sport I’d pay big bucks to watch.
Watt wasn’t playing full contact hockey, but he did get to show off some of his hockey skills from his younger days at Wisconsin’s Blake Geoffrion Classic on Friday. Check out his sick slap shot.

There aren’t many athletes that could play professionally in two sports, but I would fully support Watt if he ever made the decision to try and play for the NHL. And anyone who wouldn’t is depriving the world of something great.
