Derek Watt Signed With Brother TJ's Steelers and JJ Watt Immediately Had Jokes on Twitter

There are three Watt brothers in the NFL. This was known. But now, two of them play together for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Derek Watt is reportedly signing in the Steel city, putting him on the same roster as brother TJ. In a dream scenario, of course, Steelers fans would be getting all three in town. Where you at, JJ?

Watt brothers in Pittsburgh: FB Derek Watt is signing with the #Steelers, joining brother TJ, per @RapSheet. Maybe call Bill O'Brien to check if JJ is available ?‍♂️

JJ Watt is not going anywhere, of course, unless Bill O'Brien wants to keep sabotaging the Texans even further. It is going to be hard for his parents to cheer for the Texans if the team is taking on the Steelers, though, and JJ himself took to Twitter to wonder out loud about this.

Well this is very unfortunate in regards to the race for “favorite uncle” for Derek’s son Logan...

Also seems to put me at a severe disadvantage in the “Mom & Dad’s favorite team” category.

But damn is it awesome for Derek & TJ. Could not be happier for them and for Pittsburgh. https://t.co/zbDOsj8IPz

Derek and TJ are also going to be able to spend more time together, as JJ notes he will lose the race to be "favorite uncle" to Derek's son. JJ doesn't become a free agent until after the 2021 season, and the NFL may have to veto any trade involving him before that point in order to save O'Brien from himself.
