HOUSTON (SPORTSRADIO 610) -- Deshaun Watson is inviting an Aldine High School football player to be a special guest at the Texans home game against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday after the student's heroic efforts during last week's flood.
Jayden Payne, a football player for Aldine High School, saved a woman and her child from flood waters as the rain from Tropical Depression Imelda inundated Houston.
"Jayden - you are a real life hero!" Watson tweeted Monday morning.

According to the Houston Chronicle, Jayden had been picked up from school earlier in the day with the storm worsening. He was with his mother when they saw a BMW SUV drive in a ditch.
That's when Jayden, along with two other men, jumped into action. They were able to pull the woman and her daughter from the vehicle.
