After being drafted in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft with the No. 11 pick by the Houston Texans, J.J. Watt quickly established himself as a force to be reckoned with on the defensive side of the ball. The defensive end out of Wisconsin played in all 16 games for the Texans in 2011 and finished the year with 5.5 sacks, 56 combined tackles and 19 quarterback hits.

One of those sacks came when Watt wore this size 48 Reebok road white Texans jersey during Houston’s 41-7 victory over the Tennessee Titans on October 23rd, 2011 at LP Field in Nashville. This jersey has been photo matched by Sports Investors Authentication to that game. The rookie Watt had three solo tackles, including the aforementioned sack in the lopsided road victory – all while wearing this jersey.
