JJ Watt is a generational type talent. I would put him beyond elite. He's already in the hall of fame.

I would say no but I also really don't think the distinction matters. He's still a fantastic player that is a difference maker on the team. I think he would probably be considered elite if he could have stayed healthier the last couple years though. If Clay has a good game it usually means the defense has a good game. If you want to call him elite, high-quality, good, above-average I don't care. He doesn't play half ass and he can play well at different positions/formations and is still probably the most important player on the defense.

No doubt in my mind Clay was elite, the speed/power he maintained rushing around the edge was remarkable the first few years in the league. I think now he's right on the border with elite/very good but I think he's still young enough to get back to elite status. Splitting time at ILB probably tarnished some of his image around the league but imo it'll be a longterm positive for Clay, expecting big things this year.
