WATCH THE CLIP

Watt, who is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/bene-bombs-royal-dyche-learning-songs-nfl-icon-jj-watt-pub-crawl-veteran-fan-swearing-youngsters-burnley/blt9445601db255f74e" target="_blank">fully invested in his new role with the Clarets</a>, is no stranger to competitive action but is more accustomed to ball games that require brute strength and safe hands than those which lean on <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jj-watt-bold-response-half-time-crossbar-challenge-request-nfl-legend-show-burnley/blt48c8362e88e95a97" target="_blank">quick thinking and tricky feet</a>.

Watt has also shown that his 6ft 5in frame could be put to good use in aerial battles – with an Ibrahimovic-esque header being powered home in training.<center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet">A bit offended by the amount of shock in her voice, but I’ll take the backhanded compliment nonetheless 😂<a href="https://twitter.com/KealiaOhai?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@KealiaOhai</a> (👀 <a href="https://twitter.com/PatMcAfeeShow?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PatMcAfeeShow</a>) <a href="https://t.co/wSfb9ctvSV">pic.twitter.com/wSfb9ctvSV</a>— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) <a href="https://twitter.com/JJWatt/status/1797692850098049165?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">June 3, 2024</a></blockquote>
