Houston Texans all-time Mount Rushmore
By Brad Weiss
J.J. Watt, Defensive End (2011-present)
With the No. 11 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, the Houston Texans drafted a dominant defensive player out of the University of Wisconsin. Since that day, J.J. Watt has become the most dominant defensive player in football, bringing in a ton of hardware, and helping turn around the Texans organization.
A member of the NFL’s All-Decade team for the 2010s, Watt has been named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year on three occasions. In addition, the edge rusher has led the NFL in sacks twice, is a five-time Pro Bowler, and five times was honored as a First-Team All-Pro. Pure dominance.
The 2017 Walter Payton Man of the Year, Watt has had his fair share of injuries during his illustrious career, which has taken him off the field during three seasons in his prime. Still, he has two seasons with 20-or-more sacks, double-digits five times, and is only four away from 100 for his career.

Watt has already punched his ticket to the Hall of Fame, but you have to think that adding a Super Bowl ring has to be his No. 1 priority as his career starts to come to an end. He is going to go down as one of the best defensive players in the history of the game, and is obviously the No. 1 Houston Texan of all-time.
