T.J. Watt, a linebacker prospect and the younger brother of Houston Texans star J.J. Watt, turned in a solid 4.71-second time in his first attempt at the 40-yard dash Sunday.
T.J.'s impressive performance continued in the broad jump, where his leap of 10-foot-8 was tied for best among linebackers at the combine.
The younger Watt also matched brother J.J.'s 37-inch vertical jump, though J.J. did it 40 pounds heavier.
The performance got the attention of the three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year:
