Tuesday marked a tragic day for the Houston Texans' organization as the franchise announced that co-founder and senior chair Janice McNair had died Tuesday at the age of 89.
Now, former players have shared their appreciation, love, the condolonces for the passing of the woman who transformed them into stars, including the greatest player in franchise history.
Three-time Defensive Player of the Year J.J. Watt posted on social media his love for the woman that helped bring him home in 2011 with the 11th overall pick.
“Rest in Peace Janice,” Watt wrote on X . “All of us who were graced with your presence and kindness are better for it.”
Moving to Houston in 1960, Janice and Bob raised four children and were responsible for bringing football back to the city after Bud Adams moved the Oilers to Tennessee in 1997. In 1998, the McNairs spent $700 million in 1998 to purchase an expansion franchise, making Houston the 32nd NFL team in league history.
