68 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No.68?
Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let's take a look at who has won No. 68 since the inaugural season in 2002.
Texans players to wear No. 68
No. 68 currently belongs to no one. That doesn't mean someone won't wear it this year, but it would likely come after roster cutdowns with a new addition off waivers.
Best Player: No One
Be real, is there a player you see as "special" for the names listed? Two started less than half a season, before they were replaced and Britt only played one game in 2022 before electing to retire. Patterson might end up being the best option, but he only wore the number as a rookie before switching over to No. 54 last offseason.
Maybe there's a name that makes the cut in the next five years, but no one belongs with the title of G.O.A.T. entering this fall.

Kobie Turner Reveals What Really Killed Rams' 2024 Season
Kobie Turner Reveals What Really Killed Rams' 2024 Season originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Kobie Turner enjoyed paradise with the rest of his Los Angeles Rams teammates in Maui for minicamp. But he was also reflective on what could've been for the 2024 team. Advertisement The interior defensive lineman star and L.A. had the Philadelphia Eagles facing elimination. Philly ultimately escaped 28-22 in a snow covered Lincoln Financial Field. Turner and the Rams defense did everything they could to try to knock off the Eagles. He led all defensive linemen that day with five solo stops including two for a loss. Was it really Saquon Barkley who killed off the Rams' 2024 season. Turner told Rams reporter J.B. Long that it was much more than that. Jared Verse, Kobie Turner and Braden Fiske celebrate a stop for the Rams in 2024. (Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images) "Over the course of this last year, what killed us was a lot of the big plays – in particular, a lot of big runs,' Turner explained. Advertisement Barkley wasn't the sole running back who gashed the Rams, by Turner's admission. "If you really look at a lot of those games where we gave up a bunch of rushing yards, it wasn't every single play they're getting a bunch of yards. It was a couple of those plays where we fit it up wrong or a couple of those plays where maybe we got caught out," Turner said. Barkley scored two touchdowns of 70+ yards during their regular season meeting. L.A. ranked 22nd against rushing yardage. They also surrendered a 36-yard TD run from D'Andre Swift in the 24-18 loss to the Chicago Bears. The plan is simple moving forward for the 2025 Rams defense, with Turner now entering season three. Advertisement "It's about minimizing those big plays," he said. "I mean, that's what the league is nowadays. Obviously, the points matter the most, the turnover margin matters the second-most but after that it's the explosive plays.' There'll be new optimism for this Rams run defense. Braden Fiske is expected to return from his late season right knee ailment. The team also drafted talented run stuffer Chris Paul Jr. out of Ole Miss. Then there's Jared Verse entering season two after establishing himself as the league's top defensive rookie.

Steelers countdown to kickoff — No. 68: a history of the number and who wore it best
The Steelers countdown to kickoff is here — and we're at 68 days until Pittsburgh faces off against the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium. In the spirit of the countdown, we're taking a look at the history of No. 68 and the players who wore it best. Current Steelers No. 68 wearer: N/A There is no player currently wearing No. 68 on the Steelers roster. Last five Steelers to wear No. 68: Best No. 68 in Steelers history: DE L.C. Greenwood There's no debating the best No. 68 in Steelers history — L.C. Greenwood was easily the greatest to ever don the jersey. Drafted by Pittsburgh with the 238th overall pick in the 10th round of the 1969 NFL Draft, Greenwood was a pivotal member of the legendary Steel Curtain defense that won four Super Bowls. Playing with the Steelers from 1969 to 1981, Greenwood was named First-team All-Pro twice and earned six Pro Bowl selections. He was also named to the NFL 1970s All-Decade Team, the Pittsburgh Steelers All-Time Team, the Steelers Hall of Honor, and the Pittsburgh Pro Football Hall of Fame. Greenwood is one of the greatest Steelers defenders of all time and deserves every bit of recognition as the best wearer of No. 68 in Pittsburgh.
