One kid certainly knows what it means to dream big.
Houston Texans star J.J. Watt has autographed a jersey or two — or a thousand — in his day, but it isn’t often that he’s the one receiving signed pieces of memorabilia from fans. Enter 7-year-old Anthony Tarantelli.
The youngster wrote a letter to his idol, telling Watt that kids calls him J.J. because he also plays defensive end and tight end while wearing the same jersey number. The young fan took things one step further, though, as he included his own pee wee jersey, complete with an autograph, for Watt to hold on to when the kid grows up to be an NFL star.
Watt, of course, appreciated his moxie.

If the mini-Watt is this bold on the football field, we’ll be seeing him in an NFL uniform in a few years.
