J.J. Watt shows off acting, singing chops in 'New Girl' episode


When he's not training in a log cabin of sorts, J.J. Watt is acting. And singing.

Seriously.


The Paul Bunyan-esque offense wrecker for the Houston Texans is apparently a big fan of the show "New Girl." Although we confess to having not seen the critically acclaimed program, we are fans of the work of leading lady Zooey Deschanel. And now Ms. Deschanel and Mr. Watt can say they've been teammates, having worked together on an episode of the show.


Watch above for a tease of Watt singing and — we think — ad libbing through what could be a funny few scenes in "The Right Stuff" episode. We don't assume anything about Watt's day job status changing, but a brief glimpse at his acting chops actually has us feel that the 6-foot-5, 290-pound beast could have been.


Is he Peyton Manning-on-SNL good? No, we're not ready to go there yet, but Watt might be far better at acting than your typical NFL player.


The singing, well, that's another thing altogether. We're not quite sure what key he's in, actually.
