<p>“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 one of the women in a video. “Here you guys go.”</p>
<p>Watson, who has a base salary of $465,000, donated his check for $27,353 to the three women.</p><div class="soulf-post-content" style="text-align: center; " id="soulf-460921542"><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script><!-- Soulful_Box --><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:336px;height:280px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3678749976529688" data-ad-slot="9615849859"></ins>

<p>For Watson, this is his way of giving back. When he was younger, his family received a house built by Habitat for Humanity.</p>
<p>Texas head coach Bill O’Brien praised Watson’s character.</p>
<p>“A lot of the people who work so hard for us behind the scenes, especially the people in the cafeteria, I mean, they’re here at 4:30 in the morning,” O’Brien said. “And some of those people in Harvey, they lost everything. A number of our players donated money to help them, and he gave his game check, which is incredible.”</p>
<p>“That’s the type of guy he is. He’s a first-class guy.”</p>
