The players also huddled with coach DeMeco Ryans, a retired former Texans Pro Bowl linebacker and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.

“It was awesome to see a lot of former players, guys who laid the foundation here for this Texans organization,” Ryans said. “So, I was excited to see those guys out and it was fun to talk to them and just let them know how much our guys appreciate their support, how much it means to us to have their support. And again, everything that we do, they laid the foundation for our players that are here right now. And for our players that are here, it’s about just doing everything we can to be the best that we are on Sundays to make those guys proud.”
