Houston Texans: Top 30 players in franchise history

We are headed back to the trenches with No. 13 on this list in longtime right tackle Eric Winston. The Texans drafted the Midland, Texas native out of Miami University in the third round of the 2006 NFL Draft.

During his rookie year, he started seven games, playing in 12 total. His next five years in Texans uniform saw him start every single game. 16 out of 16 for five straight years. That, in and of itself, is a phenomenal, fantastic feat.

Winston was a stalwart on the offensive line for years and is one of the best big uglies to ever do it in Houston. The 6-foot-7, 300-pound right tackle was an adept pass blocker, but really made his money as a standout out, mauling run blocker.

Winston will always be remembered for what he did in a Texans uniform, more so than any of the other teams he played for. However, he has also been the NFLPA President since 2014 after being vocal during the 2011 lockout.
