J.J. Watt is truly a man of the people.

On the 99th day of the 2018-2019 school year, students all around the Houston, Texas area were allowed to wear jeans and J.J. Watt #99 jerseys if they so happened to have one.

Last week, Houston’s Moore Elementary School teacher Malinda Ross posted a picture on Twitter in which she and two of her students were sporting J.J. Watt jerseys. Unfortunately for one of those kids, they didn’t have a real Watt jersey and just had to make one.

The Houston Texans defensive end saw that post, so he replied to it in an effort to give him a real jersey.

My man in the middle making the extra effort!! DM me an address and I’ll make sure we get him a real jersey! Hope everyone over there has a great 99th day of school! https://t.co/EioXaSnK6T
