The Houston Texans are less than 100 days away from kicking off the 2025 season in Los Angeles against the Rams at SoFi Stadium and we’re counting down the days until a victory ensues on the west coast.

Texans Wire will each day tell you which player has worn the number of the day leading up to kickoff and pick the player who ensured the number best during their time at NRG Stadium. As for today, let’s take a look at who has won No. 60 since the inaugural season in 2002.

Texans players to wear No. 60

No. 60 currently belongs to new center Jake Andrews, who was claimed off waivers this offseason from New England. A former All-Sun Belt star at Troy University, one of the key reasons for adding Andrews was his previous work under offensive line coach Cole Popovich. He’s been working with the starters since OTAs began last month and will have a clear advantage over Jarrett Patterson and Juice Scruggs because of his previous work with Popovich.

This doesn’t mean Andrews will win the starting center job, but he’s looked the part through several early drills and might have the best footwork of all the newcomers added this offseason. Time will tell if the offensive line features Andrews working with the starters or serving as one of the better backups against the Los Angeles Rams.

Since Andrews is new, he can’t be the best player to wear No. 60 for the Texans. Let’s look back at who has worn the No. 60 in recent memory to sort out the G.O.A.T. for an offensive lineman.

OL Dieter Eiselen (2023)OL AJ Cann (2022)OL Ben Jones (2012-2015)DE Earl Cochran(2006)OL Brandon Evans (2004)OL Curry Dawson (2003)Tarlos Thomas (2002)Best Player: Ben Jones

While Jones is better known for his time with the Tennessee Titans, he was a part of two playoff rosters and an anchor in the transition from Gary Kubiak to Bill O’Brien. He started 10 games as a rookie and then all 16 games in both 2014 and 2015. The offense live remained one of the stronger parts in 2014 after earning the No. 1 pick, helping Houston finish with a 9-7 record.

The following year, Houston returned to the postseason as the AFC South champs. Jones that season only allowed three pressures and two sacks. In the offseason, he left for Nashville. Still, for his four seasons in Houston, he won more games than most linemen, so that has to count for something.
