For 12 seasons, J.J. Watt was one of the NFL’s very best defensive ends and pass rushers.
He was named the Defensive Player of the Year three times and made the Pro Bowl and All-Pro First-Team five times, and he’s sure to be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame once he’s eligible.
But former star Antonio Brown made a provocative claim about Watt by accusing him of doing steroids, via his Twitter account.
“Before bro went Steroid Crazy,” Brown tweeted in response to a picture of him and Watt during their time together at Central Michigan.

Brown and Watt were teammates at Central Michigan back when Watt played tight end before he was converted into a defensive end at Wisconsin.
Watt ended his career with 114.5 sacks, 317 quarterback hits, and 195 tackles for loss, and as a rookie, he helped lead the fledgling Houston Texans to their first playoff appearance.
In his 10 seasons with the Texans, they reached the postseason six times and won two games there.
Watt played his final two years with the Arizona Cardinals, and in 2021, his first season with them, he helped them win their first seven games, finish 11-6, and reach the playoffs for the first time since 2015.
He retired following the 2022 season, during which he posted 12.5 sacks, 25 quarterback hits, 18 tackles for loss, and seven passes defended.
Meanwhile, Brown has suffered a severe fall from grace after making the Pro Bowl six consecutive times and leading the league in receiving yards twice.
