Best Texans Linebackers

The best linebacker in Texans history is DeMeco Ryans (2000s), rated 84 out of 100 — just ahead of Brian Cushing and Azeez Al-Shaair. Below, all 12 ranked, spanning 2000s–2020s.

These are all-era rankings with no cutoff year: a Texans linebacker from the 2000s is rated on the same scale as one playing today, which is why this list looks different from rankings that only go back to the modern era. The ratings are the same ones that power 17-0, the free game where you draft a roster of all-time greats and sim whether it goes a perfect 17-0 season.
