JJ Watt bought his mom a car for her birthday

JJ-Watt-mother-car

JJ Watt signed a six-year, $100 million contract extension with the Houston Texans last month. That kind of dough should allow the All-Pro defensive end to buy himself a lot of nice things. It also gives him the means by which to thank his mother.

Watt’s mom had a birthday this week, so he decided to buy her a bran new Range Rover.

“I’ve wanted to be able to do this my whole life,” he wrote on Twitter. “For all you’ve worked & sacrificed, you deserve it. Happy B-Day Mom!”

What, no team logo and custom paint job like the car Morris Claiborne bought for his parents?

If you recall, Watt recently said he is such an average Joe that he had to use Google to learn about what rich people buy after he signed his new deal. Fortunately for his mom, it appears that “expensive stuff for your parents” was one of the search results.
