#4 JJ Watt
JJ Watt is a monster but he’s also #4 on our list. He’s currently tied for the league lead in sacks with 8.5 on the year. He’s within reach of 20 sacks which would be his second consecutive season with 20 sacks or more. He caught more touchdown passes than any Chiefs receiver in 2014. Watt is so scary to quarterbacks that even his own quarterback didn’t want to get out of bed in the mornings or at least that would have been the best excuse Mallet could have given his coaches.
Yes the Texans are in the AFC South race, but technically so are we. The Texans have some good players but the more they play under Bill O’Brien the more it’s starting to become obvious that they need a new coach. Mallet was O’Brien’s guy and they guy literally fell asleep on the job. Nobody wants to see Watt dominate and play on a bad team. Unfortunately, Watt’s dominance is not good enough to help the Texans win much. Thankfully, they are in the AFC South and they could lose their way into the playoffs.
