Wisconsin linebacker T.J. Watt to enter NFL draft

T.J. Watt is joining his brothers in the NFL.

The Wisconsin linebacker announced Tuesday he will forgo his final of season of eligibility and enter the NFL draft after registering 11½ sacks as a junior.

"Playing for the University of Wisconsin has always been a dream of mine and I am extremely fortunate to have been able to fulfill that dream," Watt said in a statement posted on Twitter. "This decision was by no means an easy one, but I feel that it is the right decision for me at this time."

Watt, like his brother J.J. Watt was with the Houston Texans, is expected to be one of the top picks in April. His other brother Derek Watt is a fullback for the San Diego Chargers.
