J.J. Watt Sending His New Shoe Line To U.S. Troops In Afghanistan

HOUSTON, TX — J.J. Watt just doesn't know when to quit. Being a good guy, that is. Moments after Watt unveiled his new signature shoe line in a tweet, a follower apparently deployed to Afghanistan asked if they could be shipped there.

"Do you ship to Afghanistan? I'm deployed and would love a pair," the follower said.

Watt responded almost immediately: "I don’t think it’s on the normal distribution map, but I’ll make sure that we find a way to make it happen. DM me your size and the address."

Another Twitter follower of Watt's chimed in, strongly suggesting that Watt just send the soldier a pair of shoes free of charge. The five minutes later, Watt tweeted, "Great idea. Send your whole unit’s sizes."

Watt, one of the most feared defensive linemen in all of football, is no stranger to helping people in need off the field. Most recently, Watt spearheaded a charge to raise money for Hurricane Harvey relief. What began as a goal of $200,000 turned into a fundraising effort of more than $37 million. For his efforts, Watt was named Sports Illustrated's Sportsperson of the Year along with Astros second baseman Jose Altuve.
