J.J. Watt Plays Catch with Soldiers Prior to Texans Game

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is one of those guys you root for around the National Football League. Blessed with tremendous talent, he refuses to take it for granted. Continually working his tail off to get better, Watt has turned into one of the best players in the league.

Off the field, Watt is an even stronger figure.

And this photo courtesy of CBS Sports just magnifies Watt’s mentality off the field.

Teams are saluting veterans throughout Week 12, and there has been some other cool images come from the early slate of games. But this image of Watt, who was taking time out of his pre-game schedule to play catch with a few servicemen, is pretty awesome.
