Alexa, play on repeat.
Sunday was a great day to be a fan. Congratulations to legend, , for being only the third person ever inducted into the on Sunday. After being selected by the in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, dismissed a few draft party boos on social media saying: “That’s OK, they don’t know me. No worries, just a new challenge and a new opportunity to change some people’s minds.”
From there, #99 got to work, hard work, and ultimately became one of the best ambassadors this city has ever known. The three-time Defensive Player of the Year racked up numerous accolades during his NFL career, but Houstonians will always remember what he did in 2017. When the flood waters of ravaged our city, Watt leveraged his star power hoping to raise $200,000 to help the communities affected by one of the most devastating natural disasters in US history. Watt ended up raising over $40 MILLION.
JJ will always be “one of us”, and we echo his IG sentiments from last week:
“Houston is family. Forever.”
Congrats, JJ, and best of luck with everything the future holds for you, Kealia, and Koa (who was sporting a “Ring of Honor” jacket to match his dad’s, courtesy of the McNairs). 🤍
And hey, and the Texans routed the Pittsburgh Steelers on ! (Sorry, not sorry, TJ Watt.)
Stay tuned for more HTown sports updates tomorrow, after our champagne headache wears off… 🍾🥽⚾️
