HOUSTON – A video of JJ Watt's nephew standing up on his own for the very first time brought a smile to the Texans star's face following his season-ending injury.
Watt shared the video of his nephew via Facebook.
"That smile at the end can brighten up even the darkest day," Watt wrote.
Even on a tough day there is reason to smile. Texans win, the Stros are winning and my nephew stood on his own for the first time. That smile at the end can brighten up even the darkest day.
