The Philadelphia Flyers had a special guest visit them on Friday afternoon. Houston Texans’ defensive end J.J. Watt came on through for a visit. The Flyers gave Watt his own jersey. Flyers’ general manager Ron Hextall presented it to him.
Watt was in town to see Dr. William Meyers over at the Vincera Institute. Myers you could say is basically the “Hernia Surgeon to the Stars.” Meyers’ patient list is quite impressive. It includes Donovan McNabb, Brent Celek, Cliff Lee, Justin Verlander, Miguel Cabrera, Marshawn Lynch and many more. Watt had underwent successful sports hernia surgery on Tuesday.

This was pretty cool. I’m certain that some of the Flyers’ players were super stoked to meet Watt.
