J.J. Watt joined Chance the Rapper, Colin Kaepernick, Beyonce, and more on DoSomething.org's annual "Celebs Gone Good" list for 2017.
The Houston Texans defensive end came in at No. 6 on the list, which honors celebrities who use their platforms for social change. He helped raise over $37 million in donations for Hurricane Harvey relief efforts after the storm hit Texas in August.
