Watt showcases impressive hockey talents in charity event
While sacking quarterbacks (and catching touchdown passes) is J.J. Watt's forte, he shows there is little he can't do when it comes to sports.
Which apparently includes scoring goals on NHL-level goalies.
In the second annual Geoffrion Classic hosted in Madison, Wisconsin, home of Watt's University of Wisconsin Badgers, the Houston Texans star defensive end scored a penalty shot on former Badger and NHL goalie Brian Elliott in a charity game to raise money for UW Health Burn Center.

While Elliott is no Jonathan Quick with his 281 NHL games under his belt, Watt's slap shot goal is still impressive. He played hockey for only some of his high school career before switching full time to football.
As usual, despite the event featuring a number of NHL players, Watt took the spotlight with his hockey skills looking quite natural.
