On Tuesday night, Jadeveon Clowney was named to the 2017 Pro Bowl for the first time in his career. Four players were announced as alternates - Whitney Mercilus, Duane Brown, DeAndre Hopkins and Lamar Miller. As I was looking at the four names, three of them in particular, I realized that those three were first-round draft picks for the Texans. That got me thinking again to the draft history of the first rounders for the Texans.
Since 2008, with the selection of Duane Brown, through the 2014 draft when Clowney was drafted first overall, all but one Texan has been named to the Pro Bowl as a player or an alternate.
