Houston Texans: Can J.J. Watt continue to dominate in 2016? – by Luke Sims, NFL Spin Zone
"Make no mistake, J.J. Watt is one of the best defenders in the NFL right now. You could argue that he is the best defender in the NFL right now and nobody would bat an eye. He finds ways to be an effective player regardless of whoever is opposing him.Posting over 10 sacks for the last four years in a row and leading the NFL in two of those seasons (2012 with 20.5 and 2015 with 17.5) and posting 20.5 sacks twice (2012 and 2014), Watt is a terror. He dominates the opposition."
