While Houston Texans fans might be disappointed in the Texans’ performance this season, there is nothing to be disappointed about in defensive end J.J. Watt’s performance off the field. Known for his charitable giving and generosity, Watt gives much of his time and self to his fans, especially the smaller ones, as demonstrated by the upcoming USA Network special, “NFL Characters Unite.” In the documentary, J.J. Watt spends some quality time with a young boy who has been targeted by bullies, brightening the child’s day and giving him some hope for the future:

J.J. Watt is just one of many NFL stars in the upcoming documentary special that will air as part of Super Bowl Weekend. Other athletes who take time out of their busy schedules to give back to their communities in “NFL Characters Unite” include Green Bay Packers wide receiver Randall Cobb, New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz and linebacker Mark Herzlich, New York Jets center Nick Mangold, Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice, Chicago Bears cornerback Charles Tillman, and Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant.

More one-on-one experiences like Watt’s can be seen on www.charactersunite.com, and on the third annual “NFL Characters Unite” documentary premiering on Friday, January 30th at 7/6c on USA Network.
