The Houston Texans are less than 50 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 worn No. 47 since the inaugural season in 2002.

Texans players to wear No. 47
No. 47 currently belongs to undrafted rookie free agent K.C. Ossai. Entering training camp, Ossai will begin the year of the PUP list, along with names like defensive lineman Denico Autry, wide receiver Tank Dell and running back Dameon Pierce.
Since Ossai has yet to even take a snap in the preseason, let alone in training camp, he can’t be the G.O.A.T. of No. 47. Much like No. 49, it’s hard to say there’s one player who has earned the title, especially since the options are few and far between.
FB Andrew Beck (2023-2024)
FB Lawrence Vickers (2011)
DB Will Demps (2007-2008)
FB Jarrod Baxter (2002-2004)
Best Player: Jarrod Baxter
He was the first player to wear the No. 47 and given how few names are on the list, he deserves some respect. He also totaled seven times for 14 yards while catching five passes for 33 yards and a touchdown in 16 games during the 2002 season.

That’s enough to earn the nod.
