The Associated Press just released their First team NFL All-Pro roster for 2025, and two Texans players have made the list:
- DE Will Anderson Jr.
- CB Derek Stingley Jr.
In addition, the Texans also had one more player selected for their Second team All-Pro roster:
- DE Danielle Hunter
This is Will Anderson’s first first team All-Pro selection, Derek Stingley’s second first team All-Pro selection (2024), and Danielle Hunter’s second second team All-Pro selection (2018).
These are three of the very best players on Houston’s #1
ranked defense, which has held opposing offenses to an average of just 17.4 points per game. Will Anderson finished the regular season with 17 starts, 54 tackles, 12.0 Sacks, 23 QB hits, 20 TFLs, 3 pass deflections, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble returned for a touchdown, and an overall PFF grade of 92.3. His partner in crime on the defensive line, Danielle Hunter, finished the regular season with 17 starts, 54 tackles, 15.0 sacks, 22 QB hits, 15 TFLs, 3 pass deflections, 3 forced fumbles, 1 fumble recovery, and an overall PFF grade of 89.3. No doubt, Hunter and Anderson make up the most fearsome edge-rushing duo in the NFL, and they are very deserving of their All-Pro honors.
Derek Stingley is making is second consecutive first team All-Pro appearance, establishing himself as one of the premier cornerbacks in the country. He finished the regular season with 17 starts, 36 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 15 pass deflections, 1 forced fumble, 4 interceptions, 1 interception returned for a touchdown, and an overall PFF grade of 69.0. He also held opposing quarterbacks to an average passer rating of just 67.4 and opposing wide receivers to a reception percentage of just 52.3%. Now with multiple great years under his belt, Stingley has proven to be one of the NFL’s most gifted and athletic boundary playmakers. This also marks the first time all three Texans players didn’t miss a single regular season game, a remarkable feat considering how hard their defense plays every snap.
What do you think of this announcement? Should Danielle Hunter have been a first team All-Pro selection? Are there any Texans players that you think should be joining these three players on the All-Pro roster? Maybe…CB Kamari Lassiter? LB Azeez Al-Shaair? S Jalen Pitre? Even WR Nico Collins?

Go Texans!!!!
