Texans CCO Hannah McNair named Co-Chair of the NFL’s Flag Football Committee
There's a new title for Hannah McNair as the Houston Texans prepare for the 2026 NFL season.
Hannah McNair, the Chief Community Officer and Vice President of the Houston Texans Foundation, has been appointed Co-Chair of the NFL’s Flag Football Committee. This marks a new role for McNair as the Houston Texans gear up for the 2026 NFL season. The committee, chaired alongside Kalen Jackson, the owner and Chief Brand Officer of the Indianapolis Colts, will focus on promoting flag football worldwide.
McNair expressed her pride in being named Co-Chair, highlighting her commitment to ensuring equitable opportunities in flag football from youth to high school and Olympic levels. She acknowledged the dedication of the committee members and the NFL in expanding the sport. McNair previously participated on the NFL’s Flag Football Working Group, which was established in 2025 to oversee all facets of the sport, with a focus on its growth, global reach, and inclusion in the 2028 Olympics.
The transition to a committee underscores the NFL’s dedication to the sport’s development. McNair is a strong advocate for women’s and youth sports, particularly in Texas, where she championed the girls flag football movement, leading to a substantial increase in participation in high school programs since the Texans launched their Girls Flag Football Program in 2023.
The Houston Texans are set to begin their regular season against the Buffalo Bills on September 13 at Reliant Stadium.
