Houston Texans – J.J. Watt

JJ Watt is one of the players on the list who is decent at the game of Fortnite and also pretty decent at the game of football. Watt is a four-time first team all-pro, a four time pro bowler, three time defensive player of the year and the 2017 Walter Payton man of the year, among other awards.

In Fortnite, he has at least one solo win:

Hard to compare, but we’ll say his football and gaming careers are near-equal. Watt is an all-around likeable person, too (Unless you are one of the misguided few who think he’s a try-hard). You know he’d be the type of guy to give you a med-kit even though he wasn’t at full health himself.

As a Fortnite gamer we would assume Watt is a shot-blocking machine. Much like he gets his hands on almost any ball that is thrown in his direction, he would put up walls faster than you could shoot them down, blocking your attack at every possible angle.

But given that we know Watt actually plays and that he won his match as a bush, all of that is out the window. Winning as, or in a bush is like winning a football game

Look. A win is a win but a win hiding in the bush is about as cowardly as they come.
