From pee wee football to Friday night under the lights, football is indoctrinated into almost every Texan at a young age— and there is no place where football is more prominent than Houston.
Houston has not only established itself as the football capital of Texas, but has become the biggest hotspot for elite football players in the entire United States.
In 2020, Houston produced more hometown NFL players, 24, than any city in the U.S. and that number is growing as seven Houstonians were selected in the 2021 NFL Draft and several more signed with various franchises as undrafted free agents.
