“The connection I have with the people of Houston is special, and I will never take that for granted because I know how rare it is. I just want you to know that I love you and I appreciate you,” said Watt. “I want to thank the McNair family for drafting me and giving me my first opportunity in the NFL. Thank you, Houston.”
