Naturally, a J.J. Watt autographed football would do well at a charity auction. So, it makes sense that an autographed ball from the Houston Texans star was a part of an auction. Only, it wasn’t.
If you look too quickly, you might not notice it. But even a reasonably close look would show that the autograph on the ball doesn’t belong to Watt.

One man who absolutely noticed the blunder was Watt himself. He responded to the tweet and offered to make things right.
Man, whoever faked my signature on that ball didn’t even know how to spell my name!
DM me an address and I’ll send you a proper signed ball to auction off. We can’t have people doing charity like that. https://t.co/Rcv7RfS8je

For reference, an authenticated Watt autograph can be seen here.
While we’re not optimistic, hopefully the other names on the ball are legitimate.
