How Rex Ryan Wanted to Land JJ Watt in NY

This may be the greatest draft story of all-time. And I really wish it was true, because it is believable in some way...

When JJ Watt was coming out of the draft in 2011, then-New York Jets coach Rex Ryan wanted him so bad that he devised this plan to land him with the No. 30 overall pick...

The following comes from the article in the tweet above:

"I sat down there and he kind of real casually -- the whole thing was real casual -- and he just said, 'Hey, man, you're gonna be gone by the time we get to pick, so here's what we're gonna do: We're gonna put out a fake medical report that you have some sort of disease. I don't know what it is, whatever, we'll make it up. And you're gonna drop, but we'll pay you like you're up there [in the first round]," Watt said of Ryan's plan, via ESPN.com.

Sounds very Rex-ish...Ryan's Bills play Watt's Texans this Sunday.
