One of the great things about the platform of pro football is it provides a high degree of visibility to share the platform with fans.
That is what Houston Texans offensive guard Greg Mancz and defensive end Charles Omenihu did during the holidays as they teamed up with Academy Sports + Outdoors to surprise fans with game night at a Houston area store.

Mancz and Omenihu shot baskets and also played cornhole. Mancz said the game was not called “bags” and stated it was called “cornhole,” and invented on the west side of Cincinnati, according to Wikipedia.
The Texans enjoyed a little holiday fun as they gear up to finish off their regular season slate with a rematch with the Tennessee Titans Sunday at 3:25 p.m. at NRG Stadium.
