J.J. Watt to help pay for funeral so Houston woman can keep her Texans gear

J.J. Watt is an Arizona Cardinal, but he's still looking out for Houston Texans fans.

After seeing a Texans fan post on Twitter on Wednesday night that she's trying to sell her J.J. Watt sneakers and Texans jersey to help pay for her grandfather's funeral, Watt responded in just 20 minutes, telling her he would help her out himself.

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

Simpson's grandfather died on June 20, but the family hasn't been able to have a funeral, because they couldn't cover the cost.
