J.J. Watt breaks his phone trying to connect with fans
J.J. Watt might just be the most popular player in the NFL.
One part of that popularity is due to his on-field performance, while another big part is due to his personality and social media savvy.
Watt decided to try and connect with his fans via Snapchat on Sunday, announcing his intentions via Twitter.
I'm going to open snapchats from fans for the next 20 minutes.

It was a bit of a risky proposition. After all, one could never know what fans might send the talented defensive end. But it turned out to be hazardous for a different reason.
That failed miserably... Y'all broke my phone.

No need to worry about No. 99, though. Watt is set to earn about $14.5 million from the Houston Texans next season, on top of his endorsement money.
That should be enough for a new phone.
