I thought my 9 week old daughter would never see me happy. That was a heartcrushing thing to hear.
"because I was going to be sad forever" totally heartcrushing.
Yeah, that got to me too....
dude i got goosebumps when she said that dude...
someone cutting onions here
Wow u look just like SAS
There are a few NFL players you can’t hate no matter what team they play on. JJ Watt, Larry Fitzgerald, Drew Brees...
These guys are just awesome.
Uncle Bobby is Aunt Emily
Justin and Jessica
Melissa with Mike
Danielle is Luis
Misty is Scott
Megan with Mike
Michelle and Kevin
Drew brees?!
NIC Sicko wish that was totally true, but some suck-ups along with colin kaepernick found a way to do that...
YOU ARE SOOOO RIGHT!! I LOVE THEM ALL. GREAT, GREAT MEN.
@@texasrockshillcountry6574 kaepernick hasn't played for 3 yrs. Way to stay relevant you douche.
"When the monsters look up they look at him and he says GET OUT"
This kids a legend
NathanDee307 but this kid as gone past legend
Yeah...J.J is a great man. And the money he raised after the flood in Houston!!! 🙏👍
Brad Underwood believe it or not, some suck-ups along with colin kaepernick managed to disenfranchise J.J. Watt.
this is awesome. I'm not a Texans fan but I am now a JJ watt fan. incredible human being
Cj Phillips same i have always liked him tho cause he really is a great person
Those dislikes were andrew luck and the colts
Cj Phillips I agree
Anybody who lifts the spirits of innocent kids is a hero in my book
HE IS A CLASS ACT!!!!!
How does anyone not like JJ Watt? Pure class.
Love seeing great families like this. Will is a tough kid, and you can tell there is a lot of love in that family.
This is why I love JJ Watt. Not only is he a phenomenal football player. He is a humanitarian as well! He loves kids! He does so much to help others. His parents should be proud for raising such amazing boys!!
Respect J.J.
I love how humble and giving J.J. Is
BRAVE!!! My dad had AML.
IM SO SORRY U HAD TO GO THROUGH THIS! You are amazing and strong and brave!!! People like you make us stop and recheck the meaning of “life”
The love, these NFL players (and other pros) show, and how down to earth they are. They actually care more than we think
JJ watt is a great human being now he is one of my favorite players
Wow.. JJ Watt is my favorite player for this reason.
J.J. Watt classy guy
I never understood why people always say "sorry " when they start to cry. People seem to do that automatically. You just got the worst news a parent can get. There is no need to apologize. You have every right to react any way you want.
Patrick Wagener I was about to say the same thing. "Nah, Momma, you're good, nothing to apologize for!"
Patrick Wagener well if I were to start crying in front of someone, I would say sorry too because i feel like I would be making them uncomfortable. I know I would feel uncomfortable if someone started crying in front of me
So true. I do the same thing. That's interesting that we feel we need to apologize for feeling that way. I guess we feel embarrassed and vulnerable when we cry.
It's conditioning. Some cultures believe it's impolite or wrong to show negative emotion publicly. Folks give consession to kids for open expression, but we're taught to hide our real selfs as we age. Even worse for males, who are denigrated for being emotional.
This boy and jj watt are gems. I hate seeing these little kids going thru the fight of their life at such a young age with so much of their lives ahead of them. It amazes me at how positive they can be while someone is cutting onions beside me
No matter what Pro player plays for whatever team, if you act like this then I am a fan! respect to JJ!
rip jj watt hand 6:00
sunny I saw That! Lol
Hahaha
J J Watt is a wonderful human being. He gives a lot to his community. He is a person who can set a great example for others.
JJ is the nicest, kindest, most genuine and giving person, and who is so grounded. I knew him as a Badger at the University of Wisconsin, and he's just the best of the best! We could all learn some seriously genuine humanity from this young man. And GO WILL! WILL POWER! You've definitely picked the best possible role model.
the fact that a pro athlete does this is amazing.. good on you jj !!
Of all the people that do things like this, JJ Watt may be the greatest ever. I am a Giants fan and I have MONSTER RESPECT for JJ. From his help with the Hurricane Harvey survivors to the Santa Fe school shootings to Make a Wish, I've never seen anyone more charitable, with an almost indomitable will to help. My hat's off to JJ Watt. You truly are awesome.
I am a Steelers fan and have been since 1976. But I am a Texans fan now as well.
Steelers have two of the Watts, I don’t think Houston will get rid of JJ, they are all class acts.
3:03 damn JJ easy on the kid's hand
6:00 revenge from the kid
Johnghost B. Hahahahahahah that cracking noise when J.J grabs his hand at 3:03
It sounded like he crushed every bone in the kids hand
LOOOOOL
Johnghost B. A
That sounds like its breaking his hand
You deserve some sort of award for this lmfao
Watt a guy. The world needs more people like him.
When the mom said she thought she'd be sad forever... damn.
Such a nice person, gave me chills JJ
what a great kid and a really awesome guy in JJ!
Will, you are a force to be reckoned with and I’m in awe of your bravery and strength. Thank you for sharing your story.
JJ Watt has always been incredibly humble. And there are a lot more just like him...we just never see the stories
JJ IS THE REAL DEAL - HE'S ALWAYS ALWAYS DOING THE RIGHT THING (GIANTS FAN)
One in a million!!
Saquan did one of these. Check it out. It's great. (Giants fan also)
Giants fan also, love my team!
God bless this lil man ❤️❤️ he just takes up meeting JJ Watt like an old friend ..
This is the kinda stuff the NFL should be asking every player to do!! and JJ Watts does this stuff all the time.
I was never an NFL fan all college, but I now have a player that i will watch all the time JJ Watts.
JJ Watt is an awesome human being for all the time he commits to making moments like this happen.
And hats off to all the positivity Will has in this situation.
Ultimate respect not only to JJ but to Will also. 2 strong individuals
Wow. THAT is a man. Not a sports person, his DAD. You're my hero, mate.
What a tough kid man... I couldn’t imagine having to go through that at a young age
😭 A truly sweet and humble man. We need more of that in our sports stars.
Always mad respect for this young man, as well as JJ Watt. Both true hero’s
Not a Texas fan but jj did a great thing for this kid.
Love this story. Makes me proud to be a Houston-ion and a Texans fan. I hope the best for that brave little guy and his family. J.J. Watt is a class act. He is always doing nice, kind acts for people here in Houston and other places.
That's awesome he actually went to his house to spend the day with him!
Well we have t.j. watt that whole family is special. But I'm afraid jj is gonna have to pass the torch. Cause little bro might be as big a highlight real if not bigger. And hands down should win defensive player of the year.
3:52 that little girls accent......
*thassu rite theyur*
That was super adorable
I love this kid! He's got such a good personality. Prayers going up for Will. 🙏
God bless this family❤️ he is a warrior. My prayers and love are with you.
I do remember what is to have a hero and look forward to him . JJ it’s a great example not just on the field but he’s got a quiet personal life too . Good hero to follow
Im forever a Patriots fan but the things J.J does for his community is amazing..much respect
I'm not crying, you're crying
Oh I'm not crying, it must be the onions. Love this!
Yes, yes i amm
This warmed my heart
I know the feeling of this family. My daughter was diagnosed at 2 y/o and fought to remission for 8 yrs.
hey guys notice how his parents are just tripping out because JJ watt really is so real and loves people they seem to be in pure shock how genuine he is and JJ watt is enjoying their son just a big kid lol hilarious and beautiful
How precious.
Another example of how caring and love always is more meaningful than money or worldly goods.
God Bless all
Jj watt is such a nice guy amazing for that kid too ❤️
JJ Watt is genuinely one of the nicest people on earth. He goes out of his way to support his community and his fans.
One of the many reasons that we love JJ Watt in our family too!!! Happy Halloween!! 🎃🎃🎃
There's always one 💩 head to dislike what Is obviously touching!
Sorry
JJ Watt is the man!! Heart of gold
Much respect to you JJ. Will u got this!!!!
THIS...This is the reason I love America
THIS... This is the reason why I love to love
THIS... is why soldiers risk there lives
THIS...this right here, is why I just became a Texans fan!!
Great comment, Jackson
This had nothing to do with soldiers. Give credit where credit is due.
@@Timmytoes37 I respectfully agree with Jackson. He gave credit to JJ and the Texans. At the very least, allow him the liberty to see the bigger picture.
Nice choice
@@chicagozephyr2399 i respectfully agree with timmy. soldiers don't risk their lives so jj can be a great human being
I pray for Will and his family!!!! What a beautiful and strong boy!!! I loved this story!
Great video about a brave little boy and a really cool professional athlete! JJ...that's was awesome what you did for that 9 year old boy! He'll remember the time you spent with him for the rest of his life! God Bless that boy, and God Bless you J.J. Go Texans!!

Awesome! Praying he’s doing well and living life as all young kids should, happy and carefree.
Prayers for Will an inspiration and prayer to you JJ watts you both are awesome!

JJ Watt is the epitome of the NFL. He is the most amazing man ever he gives so much to everybody, no matter who you are. And he doesn't just do it for PR he does it because he loves. I really hope he comes to Buffalo. The bills Mafia has always been about charity and love. We want your love here in Buffalo. If you see this we need you and want you and we would embrace you with open arms.
