The self-confidence of a seven year old is enviable.

Imagine sending your signed jersey to a professional athlete and comparing yourself to him or her in a letter.

That’s exactly what young Anthony Tarantelli did in a package to Houston Texans star J.J. Watt.

Tarantelli, who also wears No. 99, autographed his game jersey “so [Watt] will know [him] when [he] an a famous NFL player.”

This is gold.

Dear J.J.

I am 7 years old. My name is Anthony Tarantelli and I am your biggest fan. People call me J.J. because I also play DE and TE like you. I wear number 99 like you too. I was the most feared rusher in my league this year. I am sending you my autographed game jersey so you will know me when I an a famous NFL player.

99 rocks! Your friend Anthony.
