NFL free agency started on Tuesday with a bang. Just about every NFL team made moves, and the careers of multiple Pro Bowl players took huge turns.

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt attempted to have some fun amidst the madness, posting this on Twitter:

Of course, he was talking about some of the characters from our favorite sports movies growing up, such as Rookie of the Year, Remember the Titans and The Mighty Ducks. Watt then kept it going with characters from The Sandlot and He Got Game.



Since most athletes are just like us and have seen these movies, they decided to join in on the fun. Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper added some baseball movie references:

Watt's former teammate, Atlanta Falcons quarterback T.J. Yates, chimed in, as did Chicago Bears guard Kyle Long:

While we're very impressed with their pop culture knowledge, we have one bone to pick here: Trading Benny "The Jet" Rodriguez is crazy.

He's the Tom Brady of sports movies. You just don't move talent like that.
