Watt borrowed a bicycle from 5-year-old Biraj Sadhu, but it was no contest. The bicycle's seat broke under the pressure of the 6-foot-5, 290-pound defensive lineman before reaching the practice field, according to the Houston Chronicle.
"OK, it's not big-man approved," Watt joked to reporters.

The defensive star slung the bicycle over his shoulder and carried it to the Hutson Center as Biraj carried the player's helmet while walking alongside him, according to the Chronicle. Texans officials said they would replace the bicycle, the newspaper reported
Monday marked the first time the Packers have hosted another team to practice during training camp since 2005, WKOW reported.
The Packers host the Texans on Thursday night at Lambeau Field.
