J.J. Watt sends game-worn cleats to Anthony Tarantelli, "most feared" rusher on pee wee football team!

HOUSTON (WITI) -- He's already beloved in Wisconsin and now in Houston, where he plays football for the Texans -- so what J.J. Watt has done for a young fan likely won't surprise those who are fans of the Waukesha native.

TMZ reports Anthony Tarantelli made headlines last month when he sent HIS autographed jersey to J.J. Watt -- along with a letter in which he bragged about being the "most feared" pass rusher in his youth football league.

Anthony's letter read:

"Dear J.J.:

I am 7 years old.

My name is Anthony Tarantelli and I am your biggest fan.

People call me J.J. because I also play DE and TE like you.

I wear number 99 like you too.

I was the most feared rusher in my league this year.

I am sending you my autographed game jersey so you will know me when I am a famous NFL player.

99 rocks!

Your Friend,

Anthony"



Watt vowed he would return the favor, and now, we're learning what he sent to his seven-year-old fan.

TMZ reports Watt sent Anthony a package that included game-worn cleats -- the cleats Watt wore when he sacked the Jaguars QB three times in one game. Watt wrote "3 sacks" on the cleats -- and Anthony says they still had mud on them, according to TMZ.

Also included in the package -- a jersey, a hat and a letter from the MVP candidate.

"He told him to stay confident in himself, and keep working hard. For J.J. to actually follow through and hook the kid up with gear, it was a pretty sweet move!" Anthony's dad told TMZ.

Watt attended Pewaukee High School and he played football for the Wisconsin Badgers.
