The Houston Texans may not be competing in this year's Super Bowl, but several former players will be showcased in the championship game. DeAndre Hopkins, a key figure for the Texans during his tenure, will finally make his Super Bowl debut with the Kansas City Chiefs after being traded from the Titans. Joining him are former Texans Charles Omenihu and Justin Reid, who have also become pivotal components of the Chiefs' defense.

On the Philadelphia Eagles side, Thomas Booker and Tristin McCollum, though having brief stints with the Texans, have established themselves on special teams for the Eagles. This Super Bowl not only highlights the Texans' past talents but also illustrates how they have contributed to the success of other franchises.
