Cardinals star J.J. Watt channels his inner 'Ted Lasso' with inspiring message

Arizona Cardinals star J.J. Watt channeled his inner Ted Lasso when reflecting on Sunday’s close victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The All-Pro defender posted a photo wearing an A.F.C. Richmond shirt on his Twitter account.

Watt shared the caption “Like Ted says … Believe.” The tagline is a big theme from the Apple TV series that features actor Jason Sudeikis and actress Hannah Waddingham, among others. The series follows Ted Lasso, who is portrayed by Sudeikis, as he navigates coaching the English soccer club in league play. 

Watt is no stranger to the soccer world. His wife, Kealia Watt, is a National Women’s Soccer League standout with the Chicago Red Stars. The couple met during their time in Houston as members of the Texans and Dash respectively.
