It is hard to argue that Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is one of the most well-known and likable guys in the NFL. Everyone seems to be a fan of his, even Chicharito and the rest of the Mexican National soccer team.
The Mexican team is competing in the Copa America Centenario with its next game at NRG Stadium in Houston.
On Sunday, El Tri got to meet one of their favorite players when Watt surprised them by interrupting one of their practices at the Texans’ facility.
The interaction between the athletes was, to say the least, pretty great.
Hey, @miseleccionmx, let us introduce you to @JJWatt.

Watt was happy to sign some jerseys for the team and take pictures with them. He also received a soccer ball signed by all the players and Chicharito promised he would give him his shirt following their game on Monday.
I find it very hard to believe that J.J. Watt won’t be in attendance for Mexico’s game against Venezuela, which takes place tonight at 8 p.m. EST in NRG Stadium.
Vamos El Tri! Vamos Texans!
