Watch Houston Texan star and NFL MVP candidate JJ Watt tackle and decapitate Elmo to get Jimmy Kimmel a latte, before, yep, clean jumping over the talk show host and his offsider Guillermo! Watt took to Jimmy Kimmel Live and also talked about how he stays thrifty despite the huge $100 million contract he signed before the season and avoiding 'Oprah rich' purchases. Watt, who played in the NFL's 2015 Pro Bowl in Arizona over the weekend -- winning the defensive MVP for the game -- also talked about growing up in Wisconsin with his two younger brothers, who sound massive.

Watt was introduced by fetching the host a "medium whole milk latte half-caf with two splendas" and sprinting out onto Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles... tackling and decapitating Elmo in the process. Watch the clip below:

Watt -- who is a genuine NFL MVP candidate despite being a defensive player -- also called football "not as tough as you think" and chatted about winning the MVP of the Pro Bowl. "Well, you see the defensive MVP gets a truck," he laughed, "so yes, I took it very seriously. I wanted the truck!"

He also talked about being thrifty despite his gigantic $100 million contract, saying, "Yeah, I try to be thrifty, I grew up in a small town in Wisconsin, Pewaukee Wisconsin, middle class family; my dad was a firefighter, my mom worked her way up from a secretary to the vice president of her company. I've always tried to be smart with my money."

When he signed the $100 million contract, says Watt, he and his buddy from Pewaukee were the only ones home, and they didn't know what to do or think about the money. So his buddy told him to "google it."

"We clicked on the first link, and that was Oprah rich; that was private islands, yachts, and the next one was private jets..."

Watt also chatted about his younger brothers -- one is "6' 5" about 250, the other one is about 6'3" and a half and 240, 245" -- and his mum and dad, adding that they used to eat two dinners each night and a gallon of milk each day.

They also chatted about the recent video of Watt jumping on top of a chest of drawers that went viral a year or so ago:

So Kimmel decided to see if Watt could jump he and Guillermo.

Watch what happens next below... it's nothing short of amazing.
