JJ Watt responds to the viral CBS clip of him dwarfing poor Ian Eagle

CBS Sports created a viral moment with JJ Watt and Ian Eagle on Sunday during the New York Jets vs. Pittsburgh Steelers game. Watt is now the color analyst for CBS, and Ian Eagle is the play-by-play announcer. In the game, they panned to the two in the booth calling the game, and Watt looks like a giant in a suit next to a much smaller Eagle. The internet loved it.

JJ Watt and Ian Eagle are much different heights and it's pretty hilarious

Former Badger Watt made a really strong impression in his first assignment on CBS. It's hard to impress the NFL fans with the analyst job, but he seemed to get pretty consistently strong reviews. Jimmy Traina of SI.com said, "It’s also ridiculous to judge someone after doing their job for one day, but it’s clear that the future for Watt looks very bright."

However, that moment created a funny, funny moment. JJ Watt jumped on the Pat McAfee show and responded to the viral clip and image. He also found great humor in it, saying, "We are the same distance from the camera...I think it's like an optical illusion because of the ceiling." He said his head was so close to the ceiling that it made him look even bigger.

McAfee wasn't buying it and said that Watt is just a huge human. McAfee said that Watt could be 330 pounds, and no one would know because of how tall and built he is. He doubles down with a joke that he's descended from giants.

It was a fun moment for the former Badger, and I'm sure CBS will capitalize even more on the height difference between Watt and Eagle. Regardless, the two of them sound great together, and it's always amazing when a Wisconsin great is representing the university well.
