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.
