Houston Texans Star J.J. Watt Will Pay for the Santa Fe High School Victims’ Funerals

Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt will pay the funeral expenses of the 10 people who lost their lives in a school shooting in Santa Fe, Texas, on Friday, the Texans told ESPN.

Watt's offer comes less than a year after he organized a fundraiser that raised $37 million for those affected by Hurricane Harvey. Watt, who is originally from Wisconsin, has been playing for the Texans since 2011, and has been active in the community ever since.

Watt has stayed largely silent about his gesture.
