A real Mega Watt

I'm more of a Saints fan but I would applaude a Falcon player who did this.  JJ, you are a real class act!

JJ Watt makes surprise visit to young cancer patient in Splendora 

 HOUSTON—When we first told you about a 12-year-old in Splendora who was fighting leukemia by using a robot named “Watt” that goes to elementary school for him, someone named “Watt” was watching that story too and decided he needed to pay a surprise visit. Cristian Beasley is one of 34 students across the country using the VGo telepresence system. From a home computer they can control a small robot, drive from class to class, and take part in classroom lectures and discussions. 

The children are encouraged to give their robots a nickname.  Cristian named his after Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt. “’Cause I love J.J. Watt,” he said. 

The Texans star saw the story and decided Cristian was someone he had to meet. In a ruse orchestrated by the Houston Texans, NFL Films, Cristian’s family and school, and the Education Service Center Region 6 that coordinates the VGo program, Watt arrived unannounced at the home where Cristian operates the robot.  He quietly snuck up behind him and gave the boy the best surprise of his young life. 

“What are you working on,” Watt whispered as Cristian turned around. 

“Oh my God,” said the 6th grader dressed for school in his J.J. Watt jersey and a Houston Texans knit cap. “What’s up buddy,” said Watt.  “I’m J.J., nice to meet you man.” “Oh my God,” is all Cristian could mutter again. 

The Texans defensive star spent more than two hours at the Splendora home.  He gave Cristian signed shoes, gloves, and more including a signed J.J. Watt jersey which he autographed with the words “stay strong” on the back. They played hacky sack and football in the backyard, mugged for photographs together, and posed for photographs with a large contingent of Cristian’s equally star-struck family....

Thanks JJ.  You are the best there is!
