JJ Watt Quiets Rumors That He's Struggling with Being Single

Breaking news, everyone: The NFL’s reigning Defensive Player of the Year, and one of the most popular players in the country’s most popular league, is doing “alright.”

In a recent profile on NFL.com, Houston Texans superstar J.J. Watt tackled a bunch of topics, the juiciest of which was his dating life.

"People [I know] think that I've never dated before, or whatever," he said, per NFL.com’s Michael Silver. "But I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm just unsuccessful. My schedule's so crazy and life's so busy, it just hasn't worked."

Watt went on to discuss how he pictures life after his playing days are done and explained why he hasn’t met his ideal match—yet:

"

See, like, when I picture myself after football, it's down home, coaching high school football, just a relaxing, normal life. And the problem with that is, I still have this life now. So you can't have somebody that's just gonna be OK in that life, 'cause you have to deal with all this craziness right now. So it'd have to be somebody that's OK with the craziness now, but also is gonna be perfectly fine sitting on the couch watching a movie on a Friday night, having a bonfire on a Saturday night, not doing anything. And that's hard to find.

"

No. 99 took to social media to shut down the rumors he’s struggling in the dating game, though:

When Watt takes the field in Week 2 for the 0-1 Texans, his mind will probably be all football.

Because for now, his love life comes second.
