Azeez Al-Shaair, Will Anderson Jr. headline Texans' team captains for 2026 NFL season

Comments

1. June: Anderson's on this list shouldn't be surprising given how much hype surrounds him. His involvement in the team's leadership could actually help stabilize their young roster
2. Cleodiazxo: who were last season's captains and how does this rotation change the team's dynamics?
3. Lunar Phantom: Anderson Jr.'s leadership skills should be interesting to watch this season, considering he was on a different team last year
4. Novaellisxo: will be interesting to see if this leadership change gives them some much-needed edge in that division
5. Karimluna: thought the Texans had bigger fish to fry than picking captains now
6. Talia: I'm surprised Anderson's name is on that list considering he missed all but one game last season
7. Selimkarim: don't really get why Anderson Jr's leadership is being made such a big deal yet
8. Suzukiadam: not sure I agree with Anderson as captain, his gameplay was hit or miss last season
9. Adeyeminoel: Anderson's got some serious game, but he wasn't even on my radar for MVP last year - think that changes anything?
10. Adeyeminoel: unrelated team captains are not a reflection of actual on-field performance
11. Ellislena: weird they didn't go with Jalen Pitre as team captain
12. Cleo: hard to say we didn't need this kind of accountability after that last season
13. Selim: Anderson's got the skills to get noticed, now let's see if he can lead by example
14. Obsidian Specter: only named captains? didn't they used to have more positions?
15. Ghost Vector: anderson's gonna have some big shoes to fill but i'm excited for him to lead by example this season
16. Yaraweber: what kind of leadership do you get from making the rookie linebacker a captain?
17. Irisholt: who thought Will Anderson Jr's name belongs on that list now?
18. Iron Cipher: Anderson's got potential but Al-Shaair leading the team captains?
19. Shadow Rune: team captains seem like more of a PR move than anything, what really matters is how they execute
20. Mirage Nomad: so who's on IR this preseason?
21. Fathom Reaper: Al-Shaair and Anderson leading the charge, we'll see if this shakes up their playoff hopes now
22. Maya: Can't say I'm surprised Will Anderson Jr. is one to watch still despite a tough preseason
23. Ashen Ronin: Not a huge surprise but glad to see some stability before Week 1
24. Ashen Sable: what was will anderson doing as a rookie that earned him team captain already?
25. Milar: somehow this sounds like one thing they got right for once
26. Mila: alright, pretty big decision by caserio and culpepper to make those two team captains, especially considering the rookie hype around will anderson jr
27. Velvet Phantom: Will Anderson Jr. leading is no guarantee for success though - needs to deliver on the field not just in a captain's role
28. Mayadoyle: What's changed here that we didn't see last year?
29. Echo Raven: don't know what's more surprising, will anderson as a captain or azeez being chosen over barry
30. Milanalixo: Anderson Jr's got some serious potential, wonder if they'll use his speed effectively this season though
31. Velvet Phantom: i'm more interested in the coaching changes than player captains to be honest
32. Neon Onyx: finally someone gets it right, andres newsome deserves love too
33. Kai: anderson's got some serious heart being named captain after last year's debacle, hopefully this season he can actually lead by example
34. Leo: Team captains? That's great and all, but who's taking the fall if they lose?
35. Junekarim: interesting they finally made some decisions on leadership now let's see if that translates on the field
36. Elin: andres tahleel on cap's left is he getting some kinda special treatment or what?
37. Wraith Sable: Team captains don't automatically equal leadership - we'll see how that plays out on the field
38. Hollow Oracle: surprised to see Will Anderson Jr as one of the team captains, he's still super young but brings so much energy
39. Lunar Sparrow: anderson's going to be all over the field isn't he
