Joe Mixon became a Houston Texans captain in the middle of the season.
Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon has had a fantastic first season with the team, and he has earned his respect from his teammates.
Earlier this month, Mixon was named an additional captain by the Texans, a move that coach DeMeco Ryans agreed with."Being a captain doesn’t mean you have to have – breakdown more huddles or have more meetings, it’s just about going out and continuing to show people why you’re the leader by the work that you put in," Ryans said. "And that’s what Joe did before he was a captain.
On top of his leadership, Mixon has been strong in the box score. He has only played in eight games, but he has ran for 764 yards and 10 touchdowns, including three last week against the Dallas Cowboys. Mixon and the Texans are back in action in Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans. Kickoff is set for Sunday at 12 noon CT.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites. His work has also been featured in 247 Sports and SB Nation as a writer and podcaster. Brener has been with Fan Nation since 2021. Brener grew up in Houston, going to Astros, Rockets and Texans games as a kid. He moved to Orlando in 2016 to go to college and pursue a degree.
