J.J. Watt Becomes Weekly Guest on Pat McAfee Show

Former Arizona Cardinals DE J.J. Watt becomes a recurring face for Pat McAfee to chop it up with.

Former Arizona Cardinals DE J.J. Watt is quite the busy man. 

After retiring at the conclusion of the 2022 season, Watt and his family became minority owners in Premier League club Burnley. Watt also agreed to be an in-studio host for CBS during the 2023 NFL season - all on top of balancing husband and father duties. 

The 34-year-old has now put welcomed another addition to his schedule: He's joining the Pat McAfee Show as a weekly guest on Wednesday.

Watt himself seemed pretty amped for the news.

Watt's career, which spans over 100 sacks and features prestigious accomplishments such as Defensive Player of the Year and Walter Payton Man of the Year, will surely see him enter the halls of Canton, OH as a first-ballot Hall of Fame player. Watt will have to wait five seasons after he first retired in order to be eligibile.

There was some talk about him potentially coming back and teaming up with brother T.J. for the Pittsburgh Steelers, though he eventually shut that down.

Thanks to his personality that shined on and off the field, Watt was always an easy choice when looking for players who could make the jump to the media aspect of the game.

McAfee's show - considered to be one of the top in the business - recently just inked a massive deal with ESPN for their streaming rights. Watt made previous appearances before on the show, but now moving forward fans can expect to see him every Wednesday.
