66 days until the Texans' 2025 season opener: Who has worn No.66?
The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we're counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast. 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. 66 since the inaugural season in 2002. Advertisement Texans players to wear No. 66 No. 66 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. OL Cole Toner (2021) OL Nick Martin (2016-2020) OT Andrew Gardner (2011-2013) DL Deljuan Robinson (2007-2010) Best Player: Nick Martin While Martin ended up becoming a liability in pass protection, he was the starting center for a majority of the Texans' success in the Deshaun Watson era. Drafted in the second round out of Notre Dame in 2017, the brother of All-Pro Zach Martin started 62 games over four seasons for the Texans before leaving in free agency after the 2020 season. Houston made two postseason appearances and won a pair of division titles while Martin hiked balls to Watson, so that has to count for something. Meanwhile, Toner spent most of his lone season in Houston on the injured reserve, while Gardner and Robinson were depth pieces. Advertisement It's really a moot point to argue anyone other than Martin, even though his tenure ended with one of the worst seasons in franchise history.
