J.J. Watt is a defensive end for the Houston Texans and was selected with the 11th overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. J.J. played two years at Wisconsin (2009 and 2010) after attending Central Michigan University for his freshman year. In the NFL, J.J. has accumulated many honors including four-time Pro Bowl selection and four-time First-Team All Pro selection.

Derek Watt is a fullback for the Los Angeles Chargers and was selected in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Derek played for the University of Wisconsin from 2011 to 2015 and was part of the offense that helped Melvin Gordon amass record-breaking rushing yards during his Badger career.
T.J. Watt is an outside linebacker for the Pittsburgh Steelers and was selected with the 30th overall pick of the 2017 NFL Draft. Watt was recruited as a tight end for Wisconsin, but he was asked to switch to a defensive position as a redshirt sophomore after recovering from an injury. During the 2016 season, Watt recorded 59 total tackles and 11.5 sacks. T.J. was named the Pittsburgh Steelers’ starting right outside linebacker to begin the 2017 regular season and recorded seven tackles, two sacks, and one interception in his first NFL game.
“When T.J. was drafted by the Steelers earlier this year, we knew that a triple-bobblehead of the Watt Brothers would be very popular for Badgers fans and fans of the Watt brothers,” said Phil Sklar, Co-Founder and CEO of the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum. “The Watt brothers have accomplished so much both on and off the field, and this bobblehead is the perfect way for fans to celebrate their accomplishments.”
