JJ Watt may be the finest defensive player of his generation but that doesn’t mean he can’t get a head start collecting memorabilia from a future JJ Watt.
Anthony Tarantelli is a huge fan of the Houston Texans’ star defensive end, but he has made it clear where he feels Watt will end up in the all-time pecking order.
The seven-year-old wrote Watt some fan mail, enclosing his own signed jersey so Watt would know who he was when he grows up and is crushing NFL quarterbacks like his hero.

The letter reads:
Dear JJ
I am 7 years old. My name is Anthony Tarantelli and I am your biggest fan. People call me JJ because I allso play DE and TE like you. I wear 99 like you to. I was the most feared rusher in my league this year. I am sending you my atographed game jersy so you will know me when I am a famous NFL plaer. 99 rocks!
Your friend,
Anthony
