JJ Watt is remembered by Houston Texans fans with a lot of love. The defensive end left the team in 2021, but now he’s set to make a triumphant return to the club for the 2023 NFL season and everyone is thrilled about it.

Back in 2021, the Texans had to make a tough decision. The team decided to release Justin James Watt to clear $17.5 million of cap space. The defensive end had to find a new team after 10 years with Houston, and the Arizona Cardinals quickly moved to sign him.
