JJ Watt pleads with Texas residents to buy back Whataburger

NFL: Houston Texans-Minicamp

Texans defensive end is a big guy who likes to eat and can appreciate good food, which he values.

And apparently, he knows a good burger joint when he sees one.

Watt appears to be a big fan of the popular burger chain Whataburger, which was previously based in Texas. However, the company was recently sold to a Chicago investment firm, and Watt is not thrilled about it. He’s been pleading with his fellow Texans to buy it back.

It’s an interesting proposition, as there are plenty of wealthy people in Texas. As for Watt, he’s set to make $15 million this season, so he could chip in big-time if he wanted to.
