Janice McNair: Legacy Beyond the Gridiron | Houston Texans News

Houston mourns the loss of Janice S. McNair, co-founder and senior chair of the Houston Texans, who passed at 89.

Her legacy extends far beyond football—she poured decades into philanthropy, channeling over $51 million through the Texans Foundation and contributing more than $500 million collectively with her family. Inducted into the Texans’ Ring of Honor in 2025, she joins football legends and her husband as a true architect of the franchise. Her son, Cal McNair, hailed her as a beacon of kindness, hope, and family, whose spirit remains woven into the heart of the team.
