Play-by-play broadcaster Ian Eagle asked Watt “What exactly was going on?” he asked.
“Oh my God! I was fat and had something weird about my facial hair. … (I didn’t know) how to tie a tie. I have a chin tie,” Watt said. “That’s a bad look. I’ve got a lot of Mickies Dairy Bars on my body.”
Watt played two seasons with the Badgers, recording 11.5 sacks in 26 games. He entered the NFL Draft after the 2010 season, and the Houston Texans made him the 11th overall pick.
