JJ Watt was in for a harsh awakening at the hands of his wife, Chicago Red Stars striker Kealia Watt, after the Arizona Cardinals pass rusher made a bold claim.

Appearing on the Men in Blazers podcast, Watt said he told his wife he could be a goalkeeper for an English Premier League side if he trained for a year.

JJ Watt, though, was in for a harsh awakening.

Taking his place in goal in front of his wife, Kealia, Watt realized it takes more to be a goalkeeper, let alone for a Premier League side.

“The speed that, that ball flew past my head, I immediately said, ‘I’ve been wrong in every capacity whatsoever.'”

Kealia Watt is currently off the pitch as the couple are expecting a baby boy.

Off the field, JJ Watt and the Cardinals are having an eventful offseason. Quarterback Kyler Murray was recently handed a contract extension in a $230.5 million deal that reportedly includes $160 million guaranteed. The mammoth extension also gives Murray the second highest paid quarterback average at $46.1 million per year.

The extension ties down Murray as a franchise cornerstone in Arizona through 2028.

While the extension pays Kyler Murray as one of the best quarterbacks in the business, his contract wasn't without controversy.

The player's extension reportedly featured a clause stating that he must complete "at least four hours of independent study each week during each playing season during the term of the contract."

The leaked clause in Murray's contract drew considerable backlash. Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon called the language a "slap in the face to all African-American quarterbacks."

The Cardinals ultimately ended up striking the controversial verbiage from Murray's contract, but not before the Cardinals quarterback himself had something to say.

As things stand, Arizona has a number of concerns after they lost Chandler Jones to the Raiders. Can JJ Watt and the Cardinals finally overcome a tough division and make a noteworthy playoff run?
