J.J. Watt has started putting his Hurricane Harvey donations to good use, but that doesn't mean his fund is showing any signs of stopping.

The Houston Texans defensive end's fund reached $20 million Tuesday, with over 180,000 people donating.

Watt said Sunday he plans on carefully considering how best to use the incredible sum to help those in Houston.

"We're going to make sure that we get out into those areas that were hit hard. We have four stations set up. Get directly into the city, get directly to the people who need the help, hand out these goods, because the most immediate needs are the ones we're trying to take care of today," Watt said.

Watt only needed four days to hit his revised goal of $20 million (he started out with a goal of $200,000) and it's likely the star pass-rusher will continue to push to reach even more incredible donation heights.
