TORO wins Best Stunt award at NFL Mascot Summit

Literally.

The Texans mascot recently took home the 'Stunt of the Year' award at the NFL Mascots Summit in Indianapolis.

In the Wild Card Playoff game at NRG Stadium last January, TORO reverse-rappelled from the field/stands to the catwalk high above the crowd. Christian Smith and Nick Messing helped rig the stunt, and in all, eight people were involved in the acrobatics. One was on the ground with TORO, one met him at the top, and six helped pull TORO all the way up to the catwalk.
