Back in December, brave and bold seven-year-old Anthony Tarantelli sent his own signed jersey to J.J. Watt.
Anthony gave Watt his signed jersey so that Watt could have a cool memento when Tarantelli becomes “a famous NFL player.”
Watt was so impressed with the kid that he posted the letter and signed jersey to his Instagram.

Now, Watt has sent his own set of gifts to Anthony.
Watt recently sent Tarantelli a gift package which included a signed jersey, hat and a letter. However, the most impressive keepsake which Watt sent Tarantelli is definitely the pair of signed game-worn cleats.
According to Tarantelli’s father, J.J. told the young football player to not lose that amazing confidence in himself:
Anthony’s dad tells TMZ Sports, “He told him to stay confident in himself, and keep working hard.”
Given Anthony’s proclamations, it’s hard to see him losing that confidence anytime soon.
