JJ Watt Offers To Pay For Funeral After Seeing His Shoes Up For Sale

J.J. Watt is a classy guy.

The Arizona Cardinals star is doing great things this week as he offered to cover expenses for the funeral of a Texans fan’s grandfather. Jennifer Simpson tweeted out a pair of Watt’s Reebok shoes and also mentioned that she was looking to sell a Watt Texans jersey, writing: “I’m only selling because we are raising money for my grandpa’s funeral.”

Watt caught wind of the post, and stepped up to the plate.

“Don’t sell your shoes and jersey, we’ll help with the funeral,” Watt wrote. “I’m sorry for your loss.”

“I freaking love you man. It’s been a hard year for me, and this last month has been hard since the death. I wish I could tell you my story,” Simpson responded.

JJ Watt won the Walter Payton Man of the Year award back in 2017 for his fundraising efforts in the wake of Hurricane Harvey

JJ raised over $37 million towards the relief effort.

Clearly a good guy.
