New Texans star had an amazing gesture for J.J. Watt

The newest Houston Texans star had an amazing gesture of respect for J.J. Watt.

Danielle Hunter was introduced to the media on Thursday, two days after agreeing to a two-year deal with the team. During his introductory press conference, the defensive lineman was asked what jersey number he plans to wear with his new team.

Hunter wore No. 99 throughout his eight-year career with the Minnesota Vikings, but that is the same number Watt wore with the Texans. Hunter says he plans to wear a different number out of respect to Watt.

“Man, 99. That’s J.J.’s number. He’s done a lot with that number. I’m not even messing with it. To be able to do what he’s done with that number for the community and the Texans, I’m just leaving that under him. So I’ve decided to possibly go with the number 55,” Hunter said.
