How Many Houston Texans Are in the Hall of Fame? A Deep Dive (That Isn't That Deep)
Ah, the Houston Texans. A team known for its passionate fans, energetic cheerleaders (the Battle Red!), and...well, maybe not a long list of Hall of Famers just yet. But hey, they're a young team, right? Like, practically a newborn compared to the league's seasoned veterans.
So, how many Texans have actually etched their names in the prestigious halls of Canton, Ohio?
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Hold your horses, hold your JJ Watt jerseys, because the answer might surprise you (or maybe not, since you probably clicked on this article for a reason).
QuickTip: Focus on what feels most relevant.
There's one. Just one lone Texan has earned a bust in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That honor goes to the legendary wide receiver, Andre Johnson, a four-time All-Pro and the franchise's all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. The guy was basically a walking, talking highlight reel.
QuickTip: Focus on one line if it feels important.

But wait! There's more! (Because apparently, I can't resist a good marketing ploy). While the Pro Football Hall of Fame might be a bit exclusive, the Texans have their own Ring of Honor to celebrate the greats who donned the red, white, and blue. Here, we find some familiar faces (and maybe a few you didn't expect):
QuickTip: Stop scrolling if you find value.
- Andre Johnson (of course, the man deserves double the praise)
- J.J. Watt, the defensive force who redefined the way we think about outside linebackers
- Bob McNair (posthumously), the late owner who brought the Texans to Houston
Now, these Ring of Honor inductees might not have bronze busts in Canton, but they're undoubtedly Houston legends. They'll forever be remembered for their impact on the team and the city.
So, there you have it. The short (and not-so-short) story of Houston Texans in the Hall of Fame (and the Ring of Honor, because hey, participation trophies are important). While the list might be a bit on the shorter side for now, the Texans are a young team with a bright future. Who knows? Maybe someday we'll be writing a whole book (or at least a novella) on their Hall of Fame inductees.
