“I enjoy my work with the Texans,” said Houston, who became an ambassador in 2006. Honestly, it’s fun to meet-and-greet fans. Often, people come up to me and talk about football, my career and how they remember my playing days in Houston and Washington. I’m very approachable and love discussing the game with people.”
