Texans Community Player of the Year presented by Whataburger Nominees
C Chris Myers (August Player of the Month)
Myers makes an impact with military support. This year, he and teammate Joel Dreessen created Gridiron Heroes, a new TACT (Texans All Community Team) group that brings veterans from all across Texas to every Texans home game. Myers spent several hours at Ellington Joint Military Base in November to visit with Marines who had recently returned home from a 13-month deployment to Afghanistan. During the offseason, Myers participated in several local USO events welcoming troops home. He and his wife, Jenny, have also made appearances at military hospitals and galas around the Houston-area. Myers continues to be involved with the Garth Brooks Foundation bringing scholarships to Houston that benefit local youth groups.
TE Joel Dreessen (September Player of the Month)
Dreessen has made a major impact in the Houston area. He has helped raise funds for many Houston-based charities and organizations, as well as volunteered his time to interact with others who are making a difference in the community. Dreessen and his wife, Stacy, helped raise money for MD Anderson Hospital by attending the Best Cellars Wine Dinner. The Dreessens also made an appearance at the Taste of the Texans event benefitting the Houston Texans Foundation, the Houston Food Bank and the Methodist Hospital, where he mingled with fans and signed autographs while tasting dishes from some of Houston’s finest restaurants. Dreessen has been a member of the TACT (Texans All Community Team) program by purchasing season tickets for a local non-profit organization, the USO Warrior Project. He also regularly attends field days where he runs drills with participants or speaks about his experiences in the NFL and with the Texans organization.
