Former NFL star J.J. Watt cracked a Jeffrey Epstein joke on Wednesday during his appearance on "The Pat McAfee Show" amid the drama that’s been playing about between Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel.

Much like Rodgers, Watt is a routine guest on McAfee’s show. He made clear that he doesn’t know anything about Epstein, flights or anything having to do with the deceased, disgraced financier.

Earlier in the show, McAfee, a former Indianapolis Colts punter, equated the comments Rodgers made to "talk s---" and apologized for "being a part of" the drama that came about afterward.
