You would think that NFL stars would find it easy to get girlfriends, but Houston Texans player JJ Watts has said it's not that simple

The defensive player said he finds it difficult to know if women like him for the person he is or his status and the wages that come with being the number one defensive player in the league

Watts also said that an intensive training schedule and traveling around the country for games makes it difficult to maintain a relationship

He told NFL.com: 'People think that I've never dated before, or whatever. But I'm trying. I'm trying. I'm just unsuccessful. My schedule's so crazy and life's so busy, it just hasn't worked.

'You don't know who wants you for you, who wants you for the money, who wants you for the fame. You have no idea.'

Justin James Watt, 26, admitted he was obsessive about training and even woke up at 3.45am to work out while on vacation.

He is the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year but said he is a player on the ascension and finds it difficult to relax because of his career goals.

Watt was rumored to be seeing tennis star Caroline Wozniacki after the pair were spotted together at a NCAA National Championship basketball game

He said that his status as an NFL player makes it difficult to trust women, but that he tries to ignore these doubts, and does occasionally get lonely

He was rumored to be seeing tennis star Caroline Wozniacki after the pair were spotted together at a NCAA National Championship basketball game.

But speculative reports the pair were an item are now in doubt, after he told NFL.com he was unlucky in love.

He said that his status as an NFL player makes it difficult to trust women, and he tries to ignore these doubts, but does occasionally get lonely.

'You can't think about love on paper like that. If you're thinking like that - "Does this person want me for me?" - then you're gonna have a hell of a hard time falling in love cause you're constantly thinking about what they look like on paper.

'Trust me, it's a lot more difficult than I wish it was - but I'm sure hoping to find the right one.'
