10. J.J. Watt staring at tight end in 2014

The Houston Texans had a historically bad group of tight ends in 2014. Garrett Graham had 18 catches for 197. Ryan Griffin was credited with 10 receptions for 91 yards and rookie C.J. Fiedorowicz had a team low four receptions for a pitiful 28 yards. All three recorded just one touchdown catch on the year apiece.

Good thing the fourth tight end on the roster showed up in the red zone. Defensive end J.J. Watt lined up several times on the season and caught all three passes thrown his way. He totaled only four yards, but all three catches went for touchdowns as Watt showed his versatility by making some great catches despite being challenged by defenders.

Watt was a good high school tight end as he recorded five touchdowns his senior year on 26 catches. He had 399 yards receiving that year and Jamey Eisenberg of CBS Sports believes he could be an offensive stud if given the chance. Many Texans fans would probably agree.
