J.J. Watt is the NFL's dream come true. He's essentially Roger Goodell in football player form and he would never do anything to go against the shield.
J.J. Watt has too much character to destroy his cellphone like Tom Brady
Texans owner Bob McNair says J.J. Watt would never be uncooperative in an investigation like Tom Brady was.

At least, that's what Texans owner Bob McNair thinks. On Tuesday he went on a Houston radio station to say that Watt would've been fully cooperative if put in the same situation as Tom Brady during all of the DeflateGate hoopla. More specifically, Watt wouldn't have taken the same actions that Brady did that drew suspicions.
”What escalated the whole thing is that Brady and the Patriots were going to cooperate fully, and then when it came down to it, they didn’t,” McNair told Houston’s Sports Radio 610. “If it was J.J. Watt, I think he would have been cooperative, and it wouldn’t be a question. ... I don’t think J.J. would destroy his cellphone.”
Hold your eye-rolling, everybody, because Watt “just gets it.“ He doesn’t care for the partying lifestyle or selfies, he just shows up to take care of business with a lunchpail mentality.
He would never be investigated for something like DeflateGate because he gets the job done with a blue-collar approach, but if he did, he would be fully cooperative. The only way Watt breaks a cell phone is if he forgets it in his pocket before a intensity-filled workout hours before practice is actually scheduled to start.
We could all learn something from Watt, but especially you, Tom Brady.
