Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt is continuing to surpass his own goals as his fundraising towards Hurricane Harvey relief efforts topped the $30 million mark on Friday.

Watt set an original goal of $200,000 on Aug. 26 which was quickly surpassed.

The three-time Defensive Player of the Year revealed on Wednesday that his campaign reached $27 million and hasn't stopped since the storm ravaged Houston and its surrounding areas.

Numerous teams and players have donated to Hurricane Harvey relief, but no one has made a greater effort than Watt.
