20 years ago, the Houston Texans took their first step toward becoming a real football team by taking part in the NFL expansion draft. Several hours and 19 players later, the Texans were no longer just a concept in the minds of excited Houston football fans, but an actual football team with a roster and everything.
The first player taken in the draft was Jaguars offensive lineman Tony Boselli, who, on Thursday, was officially elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Good for him, I guess.
It’s hard to be too happy for a player who never played a single down for your team and retired the same year you drafted him.
