JJ Watt on Texans Ring of Honor induction
J.J. Watt speaks at a press conference before his induction into the Houston Texans Ring of Honor on Oct. 1.
HOUSTON - J.J. Watt was officially inducted into the Houston Texans Ring of Honor on Sunday.
The ceremony was held at halftime during the team’s game against the Pittsburg Steelers.
Watt became only the third member to be inducted into the Ring of Honor, joining Andre Johnson and late Texans founder, chairman and CEO Bob McNair.
Earlier this week, the Texans shared a special letter written by Watt for his Houston fans leading up to the ceremony.
It reads in part, "From the first moment I stepped off that plane in Houston twelve years ago to this moment, as you're reading this right now, all I've wanted to do is make you proud. I knew it wouldn't be easy. I knew it was going to take a lot of work. I knew I would have to put in the effort to earn your trust, to learn your history, to appreciate what makes this city so special."

He spent his final two seasons with the Arizona Cardinals.
