NFL legend JJ Watt took the opportunity to roast himself during CBS’ broadcast of a Week 6 game between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
The broadcast featured a photo of Watt from when he was in the trenches with the Wisconsin Badgers. The photo shown was from Wisconsin’s media day in 2008. He was unable to play that season after transferring to the school from Central Michigan.

Play-by-play announcer Ian Eagle asked Watt, “What exactly was going on?”
“Oh my God! I was fat and I had a weird facial hair situation… I didn’t know how to tie a tie. I have a mask,” Watt said. “That doesn’t look good. There are a lot of Dairy Bar Mickies in my system.”
Watt played two seasons with the Badgers, recording 11.5 sacks in 26 games. He entered the NFL Draft after the 2010 season and the Houston Texans made him the No. 11 overall pick.

He went on to become one of the best players in Texans history and is likely to become a Hall of Famer once he is eligible.
For now, Watt can be heard on the CBS broadcast. Sunday wasn’t the only time this season his appearance was mentioned. The former defensive lineman debuted a new hairstyle. CBS called it “feathered and lethal.”

Meanwhile, Aaron Rodgers had 235 passing yards and two touchdown passes as the Steelers defeated the Browns 23-9. DK Metcalf and Connor Heyward had the touchdowns.
