When Houston Texans founder Bob McNair passed away in November 2018, chairman and CEO Cal McNair started to become more of the public face of the franchise. In the past two years, Texans Foundation vice president Hannah McNair also become part of the presentation of ownership.
However, Texans senior chair and principal owner Janice McNair is still taking an active part in the operations of the franchise.
Janice McNair, 86, was at Texans mandatory minicamp June 13 and took in the practice at Houston Methodist Training Center.
“It’s very cool,” Cal McNair said. “She loves the team, loves football and couldn’t wait to get out here. So, we’re excited to have her.”
Minicamp wasn’t the only Texans football event that Janice McNair attended this offseason.
Said Hannah McNair: “She was in the draft room. She loved it. She loves this. This is her other family. We’re all her family. She’s just as passionate about this as anybody. Her and Bob brought this here, so I would say they’re excited.”
The McNairs have also used the stage of pro football to give back to the greater Houston area. During the COVID-19 lockdowns, Janice McNair pledged $1 million as part of rent relief.
