Breakfast: T.J. Watt "only scratching the surface"

"I"m only scratching the surface. I've only played defense for 18 or 20 months. If I can do all the things I did this last year what can I do when I'm under
the tutelage of an NFL coach? Obviously lack of film lack of experience point that's come across I think it's not a problem with my work ethic and my
bloodlines and stuff like that."


JJ advice: "He said it's crazy, don't be surprised how much they have you doing and just be yourself. You don't really have free time here and just enjoy
the process. You don't get much sleep It does get tiring, but you can't get lazy and create an attitude because everyone here is going through the same situation.
I bounce ideas off of J.J. for this experience."


Clay Matthews comparison: "It's great. Anytime you get compared to a great player like that it's a great comparison, I personally don't shape my game after anyone else."


On compared to JJ: "Yeah he's one of the best players to ever do it, why not take that comparison. The No. 1 thing I love about my brother's play is how he does it.
He's 100 percent all out every single play. You're not going to catch him loafing. He's a game-changer. That's how I want to be viewed.""I"m only scratching the surface. I've only played defense for 18 or 20 months. If I can do all the things I did this last year what can I do when I'm under
