Nobody understands the pitfalls of thinking "you've made it" more than J.J. Watt.

Watt's work ethic has propelled him from a tight end at Central Michigan to walking on at the University of Wisconsin and eventually becoming a first-round pick.

This past season, Watt was named the first unanimous Defensive Player of the Year.

The Houston Texans defensive end offered up a humbling reminder to every big-time high school football player putting ink to paper on Signing Day. 

Watt's legendary work ethic allowed him to sign a $100 million deal last September and become one of the best in the entire NFL.
