Houston Texans defensive end JJ Watt is remembering a great and perhaps unlikely friend: former first lady Barbara Bush.
The NFL star wrote a message for the former first lady on Twitter, after she died at the age of 92 on Tuesday night.
Watt, who has played for the Houston Texans since 2011, often helped Mrs. Bush with her charity, the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy foundation. Raising awareness for literacy in the United States became her mission as first lady. She continued to fight for the cause after leaving the White House.
