Houston Texans rookie quarterback Deshaun Watson has donated his first NFL game check to three NRG stadium employees who were affected by Hurricane Harvey.
Watson surprised three women who work in the team cafeteria at the stadium on Wednesday, donating about $27,000 (£20,100) of his base salary of $465,000 (£346,000).
In a video shared by the team, Watson told the cafeteria staff: "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 you all to help you out in some type of way."
The trio became emotional when Watson handed them an envelope each with a red ribbon, while one asked for a hug, to which the rookie duly obliged.
The former Clemson star told them: "Hopefully, that's good and that can get you back on your feet. And anything else you 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.
The 22-year-old, who was selected 12th overall by Houston in the draft, has also impressed on the field.
He threw for 301 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions, while adding another 41 yards rushing in a last-gasp defeat to the Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots, last Sunday.
