Texans' J.J. Watt grants fan's wish in SportsCenter segment

Of the hundreds of requests fielded by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Will Martinez, 9, of Houston had one of the most down-to-earth wishes: that Texans defensive lineman J.J. Watt come to his house for dinner.

Watt agreed to do so, and the results of their visit last month will air during the 5 p.m. Monday edition of "SportsCenter" as part of the annual ESPN series "My Wish."

Chris Connelly, host of the series that celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, said ESPN producers and Make-A-Wish officials were charmed by the simplicity of Will's request.
