Watt, who has only played for the Arizona Cardinals for about a year, has been a Texans favorite since joining the Texans a first-round pick in 2011. He left Houston in 2020.
In 2017, when he was a Texan, Sports Illustrated named Watt Sportsman of the Year.
He retires a three-time DPOY winner, among many other honors, including Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, and Pro Football Focus Defensive Player of the year.
