Who are the Top 10 Houston Texans football players of All-Time?

Determining the Top 10 Houston Texans players of all time is subjective and can vary based on personal opinions and criteria for greatness. However, I wanted to break down a list of players who are often regarded as some of the greatest players in franchise’s history.
- J.J. Watt (DE): Watt is arguably the most dominant player in Texans history. During his time with the team, he became a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year and was known for his exceptional pass-rushing abilities and disruptive presence on the field.
- Andre Johnson (WR): Johnson was the Texans’ first-ever draft pick and became one of the best wide receivers of his era. He holds numerous franchise records and was a seven-time Pro Bowler during his tenure with the team.
- Arian Foster (RB): Foster was a standout running back for the Texans and achieved great success during his prime. He was a three-time Pro Bowler and led the league in rushing yards and touchdowns in 2010.
- DeAndre Hopkins (WR): Hopkins was another elite wide receiver for the Texans and one of the most reliable pass catchers in the league during his time with the team. He earned multiple Pro Bowl selections and set various team records.
- Deshaun Watson (QB): Watson had a brief but impactful career with the Texans. During his time with the team, he emerged as one of the most exciting young quarterbacks in the NFL and earned three Pro Bowl selections.
- Brian Cushing (LB): Cushing was a fierce linebacker for the Texans and was known for his intensity and physical play on defense.
- Duane Brown (OT): Brown was an integral part of the Texans’ offensive line for many years and was considered one of the top left tackles in the league during his tenure with the team.
- Jadeveon Clowney (DE/OLB): Clowney was a disruptive force on defense for the Texans, showcasing his versatility as both a defensive end and outside linebacker.
- Whitney Mercilus (LB/DE): Mercilus has been a consistent presence on the Texans’ defense and has been known for his ability to rush the passer effectively.
- Johnathan Joseph (CB): Joseph was a key cornerback for the Texans and was a reliable defensive back during his time with the team.
It’s worth noting that the Houston Texans are still relatively young, and the list of best players will likely continue to evolve as the franchise’s history grows.
