Quote:
HOUSTON -- Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson donated his first game check to three women who work in the NRG Stadium cafeteria and who were especially affected by the flooding from Hurricane Harvey.

"For what you all do for us every day and never complain, I really appreciate you all, so I wanted to give my first game check to y'all to help y'all out in some type of way," Watson told the woman in a video shared by the Texans. "Here you guys go."

Watson, who has a base salary of $465,000, donated a check for $27,353.

He walked into the cafeteria with envelopes wrapped in ribbon and said, "Hopefully, that's good and that can get you back on your feet. And anything else y'all need, I'm always here to help."

Watson has been on the receiving end of a similar kindness in the past, as he and his family were once recipients of a house built by Habitat for Humanity.

But more importantly, he's pretty good at football

He got one of Warrick Dunn's houses as a kid. Cool story.

I believe this kind of grandstanding makes him a distraction to his teammates and hurts the ability of the Texans to win football games. The unfairly benched Tom Savage would have demonstrated better leadership by not making a charitable contribution a tribute to himself.

Didn't a player donate his game check to a reporter last year after the guy's daughter died?

Texans were smart to draft him instead of signing Kaep though.

He likes to give away his money almost as much as he likes to give away the football. #BlackJayCutler
