MADISON — Chances are, if you're in the NFL, regular graduation gowns aren't going to cut it.

Former Wisconsin Badgers and current Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will give UW-Madison's commencement speech this year.

Here's a look at his custom gown:

Watt attended UW-Madison from 2008 to 2010.

He left Madison a year early and was signed by the Houston Texans. Watt was the No. 11 overall NFL draft pick in 2011.
