    The author, Tyler Conway, presents some accurate information about J.J. Watt's retirement and his statement to DeMeco Ryans but uses inflammatory rhetoric when discussing Watt's career and potential return.

    • A three-time Defensive Player of the Year, Watt was one of the most dominating pass rushers in NFL history at his peak but saw injuries derail the second half of his career.
