J.J. Watt of Wisconsin to Enter NFL Draft

Filed under: , ,

J.J. WattJ.J. Watt has decided to forgo his senior year at Wisconsin and will enter the NFL Draft.

Watt, a junior defensive end, announced the decision in an open letter to Badgers fans -- which can be read by clicking here.

Watt was a consensus first-team All-Big Ten selection and was a second-team All American in 2010 for the Badgers, who made the Rose Bowl for the first time since the 1999 season.

Watt has been a ferocious presence on the defensive line for Wisconsin. He was third in the nation with 21 tackles for loss and also registered seven sacks and two forced fumbles.

He stands 6-foot-5 and weighs around 280 pounds.

Watt doesn't project as a first-rounder on many draft boards just yet, but things can change after the combine and individual workouts.
