Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt gave his former fourth grade teacher quite the surprise Monday, showing up to her classroom unannounced to congratulate her on her retirement.

In a video on his Facebook page, Watt called Mrs. Keefe, who's retiring after 41 years, "one of (his) favorite teachers of all time" and one of his biggest inspirations.

Watt brought Keefe a cake, a pair of his signature shoes, and a trip to Houston for her and her husband to watch his Charity Classic softball game. Her reaction was priceless.
