J.J. Watt is not only one of the top talents in the NFL, he’s also one heck of a good guy. At least from what you can gather. With gestures like the one he just pulled off, it’s hard to not at least respect him.

The Houston Texans DE showed his appreciation and said thanks to local firefighters and police officers with a round of free pizza from Papa John’s on Tuesday:

The free pies included a handwritten note from the All-Pro:

HFD & HFP

I just wanted to send y’all a small token of my appreciation for everything you do. My Dad and Uncle were both firefighters, so I spent a lot of time around the firehouse when I was younger and gained a great deal of respect for both firefighters and the police [force] along the way.

Y’all show up day in and day out, never knowing what the day might hold and never getting enough thanks for what you do, yet you continue to put others before yourselves and save lives because of it.

As athletes, we often get the headlines and big crowds, but just like the men and women in our military, y’all are the ones who truly deserve the credit, appreciation and admiration. I know it’s not much, but please enjoy lunch on me today. Thank you for all that you do!

In a world filled with selfish people and bad deeds, it’s nice to see someone give back and show a little appreciation to those who truly have tough jobs. Free pizza isn’t that big of a deal in the scheme of things, but in this case, it’s certainly the thought that counts the most.
