NFL Star Helps Young Fan Prove Friendship With Adorable Video

At 6-foot-5 and 298 pounds, All-Pro NFL star J.J. Watt is a terrorizing force on the gridiron.

Off the field, however, it seems he's a softie with a heart of gold.

The Houston Texans defensive lineman has previously shown his good-guy tendencies by participating in a "wedding" with a young admirer and making a quadriplegic fan's dreams come true.

But Watt's latest act of kindness might top them all. It seems a young fan named Trey had told classmates at school that he and Watt were buddies. The other kids didn't believe young Trey, so Watt took matters into his own hands by posting this tweet and its awesome accompanying Instagram video.

The kids at Trey's school didn't believe that we were friends... http://t.co/9QVVRqoGFm— JJ Watt (@JJWatt) April 16, 2014

Turns out Trey has a pretty nice arm, as well.

We don't know what all-around good guy J.J. Watt's next move will be -- but we do know we can't wait to see it.
