Former NFL star J.J. Watt made his debut in the CBS commentary booth for an NFL game, sporting a new hairstyle that has sparked fan reactions. The ex-Texans and Cardinals defensive end, known for his iconic crew cut, has transitioned to a ‘feathered and lethal’ look as he joins CBS Sports as an NFL analyst. Watt, who retired from the NFL after the 2022 season, has been busy since his retirement, joining CBS Sports as an NFL analyst and becoming a minority investor in Burnley FC, which earned a promotion to the Premier League. On Sunday, Watt made his debut in the booth for CBS, with NFL fans immediately noticing his new look. CBS Sports called it ‘feathered and lethal.’ He was on the call with Ian Eagle for a game between the New York Jets and Pittsburgh Steelers. Watt’s brother, T.J., plays for the Steelers. CBS announced that Watt would be a color commentator for games starting in the 2025 season. Watt, who played 12 years in the NFL between the Houston Texans and Arizona Cardinals, had 114.5 sacks and won the Defensive Player of the Year three times. He expressed his excitement about returning to the NFL atmosphere, stating, ‘There is nothing better than the energy and excitement of being in the stadium on game day in the NFL.’
