Mexican national team gets special visit from NFL star J.J. Watt in Houston

Mexico national team poses with J.J. Watt

Forgive the Mexican national team for struggling to contain their latest opponent.


NFL star J.J. Watt is a lot bigger than they’re used to, after all.


Ahead of their Copa America Centenario Group C game vs. Venezuela on Monday at Houston’s NRG Stadium, Mexico got a special visit from the Houston Texans defensive end – and then they tried to “tackle” him before exchanging autographs and posing for photos.

Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez seemed especially excited to meet a fellow superstar athlete.

No word if Watt tried to teach Chicharito any of his pass-rushing skills.
