Arizona Cardinal Keaontay Ingram talks about JJ Watt, Super Bowl

CARTHAGE, Texas (KTRE) - Former Carthage Bulldog, now Arizona Cardinal, Keaontay Ingram recently spoke about what it was like getting to play with JJ Watt in his final season.

“Oh man, it was amazing man,” he said. “Just see how he come to work every single day, how committed he is to the game and just how consistent he is. And, that puts you over the edge, you know. His Hall of Fame status is for reason, you know, and to see it live in the flesh, you know, instead of on the TV, it was amazing. To get to pick a little parts here and there from him, man, that’s something that I’ll always keep with me, man. It was amazing to see him go out with a bang.”

JJ Watt is known as a pretty special guy in Houston, and Ingram was ready to confirm that he’s like that in real life as well.

“Oh, yeah, most definitely,” he said. “Especially the amount of work that he did in the community. We’ve made sure after the season we gave him that recognition. That’s what he deserves, you know. Especially over the years, in Houston and Arizona, you know, so hats off to him and his family, man. He’s ‘good people.’”

Ingram shared his expectations for the Arizona Cardinals’ next season as well.

“Of course, we want to make it to the playoffs and then to the Super Bowl, but we’re gonna take it one step at a time, and whatever God says.”

Lastly, Ingram talked about what he may do on Super Bowl Sunday if they don’t make it to the game.

“I love football, I just love watching football, and I got some guys that’s playing in the Super Bowl, so I’m gonna just find somewhere to eat and watch the game.”
