Pittsburgh Steelers superstar edge rusher T.J. Watt has surprised one lucky fan with the trip of a lifetime.

Watt is gifting a disabled Army veteran a surprise trip to the Super Bowl.

"Watt teamed up with USAA and Disabled American Veterans to award a deserving military veteran and his guest a once-in-a-lifetime experience with a trip to the Super Bowl and a chance to meet him and other NFL stars in Las Vegas. USAA will be coordinating a similar effort with other players around the league," per a press release.

The veteran, Adam Alexander, is from Oshkosh, near Watt's hometown in Wisconsin.

"In 2011, Alexander was deployed to Afghanistan as part of the Provincial Reconstruction Team, which was stationed in the province of Paktya, when he was struck in the head by sniper fire during an insurgent attack on his base, leaving him with a 5% chance of survival," the press release added.
