JJ Watt tosses football with sick child
JJ Watt took time out of practice Tuesday to toss a football with Sam Stander

HOUSTON (KTRK) -- On Tuesday's Eyewitness News, we introduced you to Sam Stander.

The six-year-old has a genetic disorder called Duchenne muscular dystrophy, which is 100 percent fatal. Sam's parents started 'Sam's Soldiers,' aimed at raising awareness about the condition and raising money for awareness.

Well, Sam got to meet Texans defensive end JJ Watt. Sam and his family were guests of Watt's at Texans practice. The two played football together for about 20 minutes.
