"For what y'all do for us everyday and never complain. I really appreciate y'all," he said in a video the Houston Texans tweeted out. "So I wanted to give my first game check to y'all to help y'all out in some type of way," Watson said to the women as he walked in to hand them the checks.
They were genuinely surprised and emotional; one of them couldn't hold back her tears, asking Watson for a hug.

Watson is no stranger to acts of kindness as he's also been on the receiving end. Over a decade ago, Habitat for Humanity built his family a home.
