Dec 5, 2017; New York, NY, USA; 2017 Sports Illustrated Sportsperson of the Year recipient J.J. Watt of the Houston Texans at Barclays Center.

Once more J.J. Watt is stepping up to help a hurting Lone Star State.

The Houston Texans defensive end is offering to pay the cost of the funerals for all of the Santa Fe High School shooting victims.

The news broke on twitter, with multiple Houston-based outlets and ESPN reporting the move.

It's not the first time Watt has helped the Houston area.

He put together a fundraising effort after Hurricane Harvey pummeled the state.

That fundraiser through the J.J. Watt foundation raised more than $37 million.
