J.J. Watt wishes great-grandma happy 98th birthday on Twitter

J.J. Watt’s great-grandmother turned 98 and the Houston Texans superstar posted a touching photo to social media on Tuesday of the two hand-in-hand on a walk to celebrate the occasion.

And this is the guy who claims he’s been “unsuccessful” in his love life. What woman wouldn’t be interested in dating a guy who so adores his grandmothers? Watt has made it clear on several occasions that family always is a high priority for him, too.

While Watt may be one of the fiercest, dominant and feared players on the defensive side of the ball in the NFL -- not to mention a fan favorite -- there’s little doubt that he has a soft spot for his great-grandmother. And should anyone ever wrong the sweet old lady? They better watch out, because Watt will be coming for them.
