Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt only played in three games last after re-aggravating a back injury in late September. Watt finished with 1.5 sacks and a fumble recovery in those three games but apparently that was enough for the NFL Network to place him 35th on the list of the top 100 NFL players.

Watt thought that his ranking was a bit ridiculous considering how little he played last year.
I played 3 games… this list is a joke. https://t.co/KnKDX1p816

It is worth noting that Watt’s NFL peers were the ones who voted for him to be on the list and he should probably direct his anger towards them instead.
