NFL Star J.J. Watt Reportedly Spotted In Merion

MANAYUNK -- NFL star J.J. Watt was in Manayunk over the weekend, reportedly celebrating his friend's wedding at which he was the best man.

Crossing Broad first reported the sighting on Monday. His friend's wedding was in Merion Station:

J.J. Watt is just a football player, but that hasn’t stopped him from establishing some kind of cult-hero, tall tale status. Maybe part of that is that he seems to dig the smell of his own farts and perpetuates it, and maybe some of it is that he’s a man who is built like a greek god and refuses to ever actually look bad in public. He’s a freak of nature, but he’s also a good dude. The second part of that came out at his high school football teammate’s (and college roommate’s) wedding in Merion Station this weekend where he served as Best Man.

Watt was later seen out in Manayunk celebrating his friend's wedding at Kildare's and Manayunk Brewpub.

Watt is 6'5 and 289 pounds, and it is not difficult to see why he was spotted so quickly. He currently plays for the Houston Texans and is one of the league's premier defensive ends.
