Steelers’ T.J. Watt gifts disabled veteran trip to Super Bowl LVIII

Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt teamed up with USAA, the official NFL Salute to Service partner, and Disabled American Veterans to send a military veteran and a guest to Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.

Adam Alexander, a decorated Army veteran residing near Watt’s hometown in Wisconsin, is the lucky honoree.

Alexander, a Green Bay Packers fan, has a decorated service history, which includes being awarded the Purple Heart, Combat Action Badge and the Army Commendation Medal with Valor.

“Being a professional football player requires strength, resiliency, and selflessness – all inspiring characteristics that Staff Sgt. Adam Alexander embodies,” said Watt. “I’m honored to team up with USAA and Disabled American Veterans to give Adam, a fellow Wisconsinite and national hero, the recognition he deserves, and I look forward to meeting him at the Super Bowl in Las Vegas.”
