J.J. Watt is arguably the best defensive player in the NFL and considered a physical freak.

Does that make him an android? Probably not. But '80s action star Arnold Schwarzenegger appears to want Watt to be a cyborg.

The Houston Texans cancelled their minicamp session Thursday, and the original "Terminator" invited the team to see an early screening of "Terminator Genisys" but not before offering Watt a chance of a lifetime.

This doesn't come out of the blue. Watt has made his appreciation for Arnold -- and his accent -- well known.

And no one can question his physical abilities.
