Watt participated as a part of Wheels Up’s day of service, helping pack up over 450 bags of food for the company’s partnership with Feeding America for a Meals Up campaign that will supply 10 million meals to the food insecure and those facing hunger during the COVID-19 crisis.
Had a great day in Vegas, starting at the Food Bank with Wheels UP and finishing with The Match.
Big thanks to everyone involved who made it such a great event.
And huge props to Tom, Aaron, Pat & Josh for teeing it up and raising a bunch of money for Feeding America. pic.twitter.com/xTiuv4NkYM

The defensive lineman’s day continued for TNT’s “The Match” when he hosted a pregame talk with the participants of the golf exhibition: Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen.
He was also a part of the commentary team during the play and was able to get a few good lines in.
Ernie Johnson: "The only player that hasn't been sacked by JJ Watt, Patrick Mahomes."
Patrick Mahomes: "Hope to keep it that way."
JJ Watt (on commentary): "No promises."— Harold R. Kuntz (@HaroldRKuntz3) June 1, 2022
