Houston Texans' J.J. Watt meets Manchester City star, wears tiny jersey

By Alex Butler

July 20 (UPI) -- They don't make J.J. Watt sized soccer jerseys, apparently. The Houston Texans star found that out during a meeting with Manchester City's Sergio Aguero.

The duo met up recently at the Texans' practice facility. They posed for photos with each other, with Aguero holding a football and swimming in Watt's No. 99 jersey and Watt wearing Aguero's bright blue City kit.

Watt was nearly busting out of the shirt, while making a soccer ball look like a golf ball in his huge hands.

"Perfect fit," the Texans wrote on a Twitter caption for the photo.

Fans had a lot of fun with the photo, saying Watt looked like a boyfriend who forced himself into wearing his girlfriend's shirts. Another Twitter user compared Watt to Mr. Incredible trying to put his suit on.

Watt, 28, is listed at about 6-foot-6, 290 pounds. Aguero, 29, is about 5-foot-6, 152 pounds.

Aguero is one of the world's top-rated strikers.

Manchester City is facing off against Manchester United on Thursday at NRG Stadium.

"Good day with my friend @aguerosergiokun," Watt wrote in a Twitter caption.

He later explained his soccer fandom, saying he cheers for Chelsea.

"I've known Sergio for a few years now, so today was great," Watt tweeted. "I'm a huge Premier League fan in general but Chelsea is always my team."

Watt is currently dating Kealia Ohai. Ohai stars for the Houston Dash of the National Women's Soccer League. Watt's teammate Brian Cushing is married to Ohai's older sister.

The four-time All-Pro recently released a line of menswear, which fits a little bit better than his new soccer jersey.

The JJ Watt Collection includes six button-downs and a few polo shirts. They are sold exclusively at Mizzen and Main. Each shirt is named after a street that was important in Watt's life.
