The Houston Texans have had consecutive seasons of winning the AFC South and advancing to the divisional round of the playoffs. Because of this, they have a ton of representation on the Bleacher Report AFC South all-star team.
Starting with the offense, C.J. Stroud is the quarterback of the roster.
“This is a pretty easy one, seeing as Stroud was the Offensive Rookie of the Year just two years ago and the rest of the AFC South has question marks at quarterback,” Matt Holder writes.
Nico Collins was named one of the three wide receivers on the team alongside Brian Thomas and Calvin Ridley.
“Thomas managed to lead the division in receptions, yards and touchdowns as a rookie in 2024, while Ridley recorded 1,000 yards with an unstable quarterback situation,” Holder writes. “And Collins has been a 1,000-yard receiver in back-to-back campaigns despite missing seven games during that timeframe.”
Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson make up an All-Texans edge rushing unit on the team.
“It was hard to leave Josh Hines-Allen off here, but Hunter (12) and Anderson (11) both finished in the top 10 for sacks last season,” Holder writes. “Plus, the latter two are better against the run, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see them establish themselves as top-five edge defenders this season.”
Derek Stingley and C.J. Gardner-Johnson also have spots on the roster. If Houston is going to take the next step, they’ll need these stars to be the ones who carry them to the AFC Championship Game.
