J.J. Watt Comeback Speculation Grows Amid Visits

Former NFL star J.J. Watt, who retired after the 2022 season, has been fueling speculation about a possible return to the league despite his contentment with retirement and new roles as an NFL analyst and minority investor in Burnley F.C. Watt recently visited both the Houston Texans and Pittsburgh Steelers training camps, where he spent time with his son and brother, T.J. Watt. Photos of Watt working out at the Texans' facility and comments from former Steelers coach Bill Cowher about Watt's physical readiness have kept fans hopeful. However, Watt has consistently stated he would only return if absolutely necessary for a team's success, with the Texans and Steelers front-runners in any such scenario. Watt's eligibility for the Pro Football Hall of Fame remains a consideration, as playing again would reset his five-year eligibility clock.
