J.J. Watt has the coolest fans ever. Remember the woman who dressed as the Houston Texans star for Halloween, bloody nose and all?

Well, here's someone who might be even cooler:

This kid, who identifies himself as 7-year-old Anthony Tarantelli, says he's Watt's biggest fan. But he's not looking for his favorite player's autograph -- instead, the clever lad autographed one of his own youth football game jerseys and sent it to Watt "so you will know me when I'm a famous NFL player."

Classic! The same goes for the included illustration of Watt closing in on Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck for a presumed sack.

Watt tweeted: "This kid has some guts ... I like it."

I agree wholeheartedly.
