Houston Texans' JJ Watt tweets city's traffic 'on another level'

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- Professional millionaire athletes: They're just like us!

It appeared Tuesday that Houston Texans all-pro defensive end J.J. Watt was caught in the stop-and-go monotony of the city's traffic. After all, in the middle of the day, a truck crash and a resulting hazardous materials situation snarled traffic on the Katy Freeway.

Watt offered this observation in a tweet sent at 1:40 p.m. to his 4.6 million followers.

While it isn't confirmed whether Watt was indeed caught in traffic on the Katy Freeway, many Houston-based followers, more or less, offered this retort: It could be worse.

Others offered flattery in times of traffic pains.
