Houston Texans defensive end J.J. Watt ended his Hurricane Harvey relief fund, accumulating over $37 million to go toward those affected by the storm, ESPN's Darren Rovell reports.
Watt set an original goal of $200,000 on Aug. 26 which was quickly surpassed.
Several players and teams contributed to relief funds toward Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma, but no one's made a bigger financial impact than Watt.
Watt wrote a message on behalf of his foundation Wednesday, thanking all who have contributed to the fund:
