    Which Texans players belong on Houston's all-time Mount Rushmore?

    By Tim Weaver,

    In their current form, the Houston Texans have only been around for a little over 20 years as a franchise. During that time they haven't found a ton of team success, posting 10 or more wins in just five seasons so far and never having advanced to the conference championship round of the playoffs. However, Houston has had a bunch of great individual competitors come through over the years, including a few that will end up in the Pro Football Hall of Fame some day.

    The name at the top of the list has to be five-time All-Pro defensive end J.J. Watt , who's 1a and 1b as far as greatest player in franchise history is concerned. Next up, there's wide receiver Andre Johnson, who made seven Pro Bowl teams and is already in the Hall of Fame. After those two it gets a bit more debatable, though.

    As for NFL Network, they picked left tackle Duane Brown and wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to fill out the Texans' all-time Mount Rushmore. Here's three minutes of highlights they shared from those four franchise GOATs.

    One could also make a case for four-time Pro Bowl running back Arian Foster, and maybe two-time Pro Bowl quarterback Matt Schaub if the edibles are strong enough. The foursome of Watt, Johnson, Brown and Hopkins residing on that mountain looks just right in our book, though.
