"J.J. Watt is the best defensive player in the NFL, one of the faces of the league and has a larger-than-life personality to boot, but his journey to the top was far from easy. Under-recruited as a tight end out of the small town of Pewaukee, WI, Watt began his career unceremoniously at Central Michigan before finding his calling as an award-winning defensive end at the University of Wisconsin. After a stellar college career and the great fortune of being selected by the Houston Texans in the 2011 NFL Draft, Watt burst on to the scene with multiple NFL Defensive Player of the Year awards and placed himself directly on the path to NFL super-stardom. Mega Watt: J.J. Watt's Surge to Greatness is the ultimate tribute to this powerhouse, who is making his presence felt on and off the field. Including nearly 100 full-color photographs, fans are provided a glimpse into Watt's life-from his days as an unheralded college recruit to his journey to the top of the sport with the Houston Texans. This keepsake also explores Watt's vast popularity off the gridiron through acting, community service, and charity work, and celebrates the man who truly embodies his motto: Dream Big, Work Hard"--
