Overview
Houston Texans players responded positively across all categories, and Houston remains a high-quality organization to work for as a player. Their highest grades come in their food services, Head Coach and dietician. In fact, the Texans are the only team that had every player feel they received an individualized plan from their dietician. The club has good facilities across the board and their letter grades are overwhelmingly positive. One area that players believe can be improved is adding a steam room and/or sauna – something offered by nearly every other team in the NFL.
