JJ Watt Riding and Breaking a Tiny Bike and Meeting Fans at Lambeau Field is Adorable
By Jerry Trotta
The Houston Texans are holding joint practices with the Packers this week in Green Bay as the two organizations prepare for their impending preseason openers. Do you know what that means?
JJ Watt (a Wisconsin native) was finally able to participate in the Cheeseheads' long-established tradition of riding children's bikes from Lambeau Field to the Don Hutson indoor practice facility.
If you have the Monday blues, and we presume that many of you do, just check out the Texans All-Pro pass rusher making the days of countless fans. It's guaranteed to produce a smile.
That's 10s across the board on the adorable scale, if you ask us.
BUT, we know what you're thinking. How does a man of Watt's imposing stature -- 6-5, 289 pounds -- manage to fit on a child's bicycle without utterly destroying it?
Well, it just so happens that your skepticism was justified. Several reports have indicated that the three-time Defensive Player of the Year broke one particular bike while riding it, and was forced to carry the two-wheeler to practice.
Of course, the ever-charitable Watt offered to buy the juvenile a new ride. Something even tells us that the world-beating lineman will round off the tradition he's been waiting years to engage in by gifting a hefty number of children new bikes.
