J.J. Watt wins award for work with underserved children, hurricane relief efforts
Published:
J.J. Watt is a phenomenal football player. His time at Wisconsin was great.
His time so far in the NFL with the Houston Texans has arguably been even greater. Watt has won awards in the past based on his play on the field. That’s great.
And, again, what could be even greater is the work he has done off the field. Watt raised more than $41 million in hurricane relief efforts over the years and has helped many people along the way.
