UW football: Watt bigger than life on and off the field

LOS ANGELES – A couple of times a semester, University of Wisconsin junior defensive end J.J. Watt returns to Pewaukee to visit the schools he used to attend. It?s not unusual for a college athlete to go back to his high school and visit his former coaches or speak to the athletes. But Watt goes beyond that.

Watt likes to visit former teachers and quietly slip into the back of classrooms, to see how long he goes unnoticed, although it?s not as easy lately with his rocketing fame.
