“It’s truly the biggest joy in the entire world. Nobody can explain it. Obviously, parents tried to tell me all the time what it’s like once you have a child, but until you have it you just have no idea the joy and the love and the happiness that it brings,” he said.
He went on to talk about how he was inducted into the Ring of Honor in Houston on Oct. 1. His son was there with him and was able to watch him play football.
Watt also shared a memory from when he was first drafted into the Texans. He said on draft night he was booed, and he saw this as a challenge to show people he deserved to be on the team.
Then, on the day of his induction, many fans were supporting him and held up posters with his name on it.
“Now, 12 years later to be able to leave the stadium with that scene was pretty cool. It was special,” Watt said.
