During the 2012 season, when the J.J. Watt phenomenon http://www.officialbroncosnflauthentic.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_EMMANUEL_SANDERS_JERSEY.html was just beginning to explode, there was an odd moment during a press conference. Fans had been carrying signs that said "J.J. Swatt" on it, a nod to the frequency with which Watt batted quarterbacks' passes. A reporter asked Watt about that. Watt didn't smile. Instead, he said that his name means a lot to him, and that he's not crazy about people altering it in any way. I didn't understand what the big deal was then, but after watching the "E:60" feature on Watt, I do. The full piece will air tonight at 7 p.m. CT on ESPN. In it, Watt begins to cry on camera when Montee Ball Limited Jersey discussing the day his grandfather died in February of 2014. "I just tried to tell him how much we appreciate him," Watt says through tears. "He was always there. His dad was an alcoholic and he wasn't proud of the family name that he was handed down. So he worked his whole life to make his family name proud and to make it a name that meant something. So now, that's the one thing I remember him saying is how proud he was of what my brothers and I were able to do for our family name. So that's why we go out there and try to live our life the right way and work hard and do things the way we do things. Because we want to make our family proud. "That's what I told him on the last day. When I was http://www.officialbroncosnflauthentic.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_CONNOR_BARTH_JERSEY.html holding his hand. I told him, 'We're going to make your name proud." Grandpa Watt was a big part of Watt's childhood. Here's an excerpt from the piece I wrote about Watt that ran in the Houston Chronicle.
