JJ Watt and his wife Kealia recently became minority owners of the Burnley Football Club.

The former NFL star and his wife seem to be enjoying their time in London checking out everything Burnley has to offer.

In fact, they’re both going out of their way to build a relationship with the fanbase.

In doing so, JJ Watt hit the town for a pub crawl with the locals.

It’s actually really cool seeing the two of them have fun with the club. The Watt’s show nothing but respect for the history of the team after announcing their involvement with Burnley, per Fabrizio Romano.

With that in mind, JJ Watt made sure to get to know some of the locals. Well, the pubs at least. Here he is on BBC Sport talking about his time hanging out with fans during a pub crawl.

Not only was he pub crawling, but it appears Watt was also serving pints of beer as well. And it looks like he’s already picking up on the British lingo.
