Colts Long Snapper Matt Overton and Texans J.J. Watt Have Hilarious Exchange on Twitter

Sunday night Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt had a question and answer session on Twitter. A lot of fans asked some great questions, but the best one of the night came from Indianapolis Colts long snapper Matt Overton. Having just signed a contract extension Overton is going to be seeing a lot of J.J. in the coming years so he wanted to ask a favor of him.

Watt's response was perfect!

Long snappers are protected when they are in the motion of snapping, but once they are done they are fair game. Apparently Overton has been on the receiving end of a nasty hit or two during field goals so he thought he ask Watt to lay off.

His response was awesome. Since there is not much Watt has not done on the field he might as well try.

@MattOverton_LS I think I'm going to try that jump-over thing. Just keep your head down, or it could be painful for both of us.

Overton's response to Watt was just as awesome and goes to show how much respect he has for the Defensive Player of the Year:

@JJWatt the fact that u can just do whatever the hell u want is hilariously amazing. Just don't kill my punter or kicker.
