In 2021, JJ Watt made his way to the Arizona Cardinals. As a bulky defensive athlete, it is hard to intimidate him. However, he was not ready to face an unforeseen guest — a baby rattlesnake on his bathroom floor. Locals had been alerting the DE about serpents since he moved to Phoenix.

However, it looks like JJ Watt has gotten a good grasp after that encounter. The defensive star recently shared a new video that features an exquisitely magnificent snake. But the crawling creature had some tape around his mouth. The caption mentioned, “Rattlesnake training the dogs. Sure as hell hope this tape holds up…”

The Wisconsin native shared in a video that he is not a big fan of snakes. He also shared that the rattlesnake in his bathroom was a long nose snake. After the encounter, Watt said, “If you ever want to feel like a wimp, that’s the way to do it.”
