The 288-pound jock once called out the NFL for giving his brother T.J. an enormous fine. In 2018, the youngest Watt sibling was ordered to pay $20,054 for "forcibly hitting" Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan "in the knee area or below."

J.J. publicly supported his brother on Twitter after the decision was handed down, writing, "This is insanity." He later shared video of the play in question, commenting, "$20,000 for this?!?!?!"

In a 2017 interview on The Dan Patrick Show, J.J. praised T.J.’s athletic abilities. "He's much better than me at that age," the proud brother raved. "He's much more refined. He's got better instincts than I had at that age."

Their mother, Connie, said her boys have always had each other’s backs. "At the end of the day, each of them are just great human beings, great mentors, great men, great friends, brothers, sons," she told Today in 2019. 

"They're really good people and that means more to me than — you know, I know how we want a Super Bowl, but I really want them to be good people."
