Newly retired J.J. Watt had a great reaction after he received an NFL text about drug testing

Former Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt announced his decision to retire back in December, doing so in his final Arizona home game. But it doesn’t seem like Watt has filed that retirement paperwork yet because, well, those NFL drug-testing texts are still rolling in.

Less than two weeks after the NFL season officially came to a close, a representative from the league texted Watt to inform him that he had been selected for an HGH test.

Watt shared the screenshot, which included the option to report the text as junk, and you know what — Watt seemed tempted to report the text. Here was his tweet:

It’s uncertain if the NFL can actually acquire a blood sample from Watt if he’s never going to play in an NFL game again. A missed test counts as a failure, which results in a suspension. But again, he’s retiring. Leave him alone, NFL.

In all likelihood, Watt will submit that paperwork and not be required to take a drug test. But fans thought the whole ordeal was hilarious.

This was how Twitter reacted

I’d ignore the text, J.J. What are they going to do?
