The Houston Texans are the youngest team in the league, but that doesn’t mean you remember these 5 players.

For the Houston Texans and their fans, their existence up to this point has been a rollercoaster. With only so much success, many players have come and gone. Some departures (especially in recent years) have just left many fans scratching their heads.

The others who may not be remembered as well are the reason this list was made. These are 5 forgotten Houston Texans players that you’re going to have to dig way back into your memory bank to see if you remember.

This list features a current starting QB for another team, a pro bowl corner in the Texans’ early years, a journeyman defensive end that won a Super Bowl, a fullback that made an impact during his time with the team, and finally a quarterback that was acquired to play…safety?

If you remember these guys then you deserve a pat on the back. If not, don’t worry! There’s a reason they’ve slipped from your mind. Here’s the list in no particular order.
