In each of their first two seasons under head coach DeMeco Ryans and with C.J. Stroud at QB, the Texans have won the AFC South and a Wild Card game before losing in the Divisional Round. However, the team fired OC Bobby Slowik and named Nick Caley as the new offensive coordinator to try and get Stroud back on track in Year 3.

During the Texans' 2025 NFL draft, they selected three players with the same name -- each with different spellings -- by adding Iowa State Cyclones wide receiver Jaylin Noel (Round 3, No. 79), USC Trojans cornerback Jaylin Smith (Round 3, No. 97) and Penn State Nittany Lions safety Jaylen Reed (Round 6, No. 187).

The 2025 NFL draft is in the books for the Houston Texans, and they have welcomed nine new rookies to their AFC South championship roster.
