Hubbard reminds me of JJ Watt

Reggie White had seasons of 21.0 and 18.0 sacks.
Michael Strahan had seasons of 22.5 and 18.5 sacks (and nobody has ever said he was anything close to GOAT defender)

Sure, it's not 20, but are you going to nitpick about 2 sacks? Either way, 2 seasons don't define the greatness of one's career. 

I'd put the following defenders over JJ Watt:

1. Reggie White
2. L.T.
3. Deion Sanders
4. Ronnie Lott
5. Derrick Thomas
6. Ray Lewis
7. Ed Reed

Heck, I might even put some guys like Strahan above him. How about Rod Woodson, Mean Joe Greene, Deacon Jones and Dick Butkus? JJ Watt has 2 major check marks against him...one is that he racks up a lot of sacks in a weak AFC south. The other is that he can't stay healthy. Until he does it for a long time, and actually wins something meaningful, you're outright disrespecting some legends by putting him above them already. 

JJ Watt is currently 117.0 sacks behind Reggie White, and Watt is 29 years old. To put that in perspective, Geno Atkins has 67.0 carer sacks. You can also double Geno's career sack total, and that's the gap between Reggie and Watt.
