Houston Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt has become one of the most popular players in the NFL, and kids across the country aspire to be just like him one day.

Watt tweeted a photo of a jersey with an accompanying message he received from a seven-year-old fan that looks up to the 2012 Defensive Player of the Year, mentioning that he plays defensive end and tight end while wearing the same jersey number.

Along with the note to Watt, his admirer also gave him a signed jersey so that he would have it as a keepsake when the boy grows up to become a famous NFL player. Watt clearly appreciated the gesture.
