Noah Fulmer was injured when a driver hit two parked cars in Houston. One of the cars hit Noah, his younger sister and two other family members, KPRC reported.
Noah was injured, and as paramedics attended to the 8-year-old they had to cut off his favorite football jersey.
The jersey was Watt's number 99.
Noah's father, Cory, said his son was fighting the paramedics to save his beloved jersey.

Noah's cousin took to Twitter to give the boy hope while he was recovering, telling Watt what happened.
To their surprise, Watt responded, telling the family that he'd personally deliver a new jersey to Noah's hospital room, ESPN reported.
That is terrible, is he ok?

Watt actually showed up with several jerseys, including his game jersey. Watt autographed that one with a message of hope for Noah. The jersey is as big as Noah, blanketing him before he headed to the operating room.
Noah went in for his 3rd surgery. He will be having more to prevent infections since he was hit at a beach. #TeamNoah #PrayForNoah #JJWatt pic.twitter.com/haUiwOk3hH
