J.J. Watt finds his voice as CBS partnership works out the kinks
Watt's second game beside Nantz included a viral booth hiccup and a memorable call involving his brother.
J.J. Watt delivered a strong performance as a commentator during Sunday's NFL broadcast, alongside Jim Nantz for the New England Patriots vs Pittsburgh Steelers game. This is the beginning of a new partnership between the two, who are working out some kinks. Watt, who previously ranked No. 1 on Chron's Top 25 Texans list, was filling in for Tony Romo, who is currently on leave due to a DUI arrest.
During the broadcast, there was one moment where Watt and Nantz seemed out of sync in their storytelling. Nantz repeated a story that Watt had just told, which drew some amusement on social media. Despite this, Watt complimented Nantz on his professionalism and supported him by recalling their conversation with Steelers coach Mike McCarthy before the broadcast.
Watt's insights and commentary have been praised, and he will continue his role as commentator in an upcoming international broadcast in Brazil.
