Texans All-Pro Derek Stingley Jr. named Top 25 players for 2026 by ESPN

ESPN has named Houston Texans defensive ends Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter, cornerback Derek Stingley, and cornerback Kamari Lassiter as some of the top 25 players for the 2026 NFL season. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has also joined the Texans' defense, making the team even more formidable. Stingley, who was named an All-Pro for the second year in a row, is known for his impressive interception record and is predicted to have 48 tackles, 15 pass breakups, two interceptions, and a forced fumble for the season.

The Texans' defense, with Anderson, Hunter, Clowney, Stingley, and Lassiter, looks to be a significant threat to opposing offenses.
