A fourth member of the Ring of Honor will be inducted this upcoming season for the Houston Texans and the other three are making sure to congratulate her.
Texans Co-Founder and Senior Chair Janice S. McNair will be the newest member inducted into the team’s Ring of Honor, joining late owner and husband Bob McNair, Hall of Fame wide receiver Andre Johnson and three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt. The induction ceremony will take place during halftime of the Texans’ Week 9 matchup against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 2.
While McNair couldn't send a message, both CEO Cal and Hannah McNair made sure to welcome her to the ring on his behalf.
"As a co-founder of the team and someone who has given so much to the organization and the city, this was an east decision," Cal McNair said.
Watt, who was the latest to be inducted, echoed a similar sentiment while welcoming her into the highest honor of Texans' history.
“It’s only right that we’ll be able to look up and see your name right there next to Bob," Watt said. "You guys helped bring professional football back to Houston and you are truly one of the kindest, sweetest souls that I have ever known."
Johnson, the first Texans player in the Ring of Honor and first Hall of Fame recipient in franchise history, thanks Janice for helping him build a career that led him to Canton, Ohio and football immortality.
"I'm truly honored to be up there next to you guys and I'd like to thank you for drafting me," Johnson said. "A kid from Miami just to have a chance to play in this amazing city and amazing organization."
The Texans open the regular season on Sept. 7 against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium.
