NOTES:
Chris has a great autograph! I had forgotten he was one of the first Longhorns to play for the Texans during their inaugural season in 2002. He’s got a few cards floating around in the wild. I may try him at some point.
He had a quiet NFL career, but ended up dressing for 92 contests, starting 29 over 6 years.
