Football Players who Played for Texans and 49ers
There is a good chance that if you’ve found this page, you’re playing the Immaculate Grid.
That also means that today’s grid has asked for players who have played for the Houston Texans and San Francisco 49ers.
And, it also means that you’re probably stuck on this particular box and you’re looking for a bit of help. Sound about right so far?
Well, good news, you’re in the right place.
I’ve done some research and have found players who played on both the Texans and 49ers.
David Carr
David Carr was selected as the first overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Carr played for the Texans from 2002 to 2006 before moving on to other teams, including the Panthers, Giants, and the 49ers.
Though he entered the league with much promise, Carr’s career was largely marked by the high number of times he was sacked, particularly during his tenure with the Texans. He was sacked a record 76 times in his rookie season, which hampered his development and performance.
While his career as a starter did not live up to the expectations that come with being a first overall draft pick, Carr did find some success in a backup role. Carr finished his NFL career with more than 14,000 passing yards and 65 touchdowns.

Brian Hoyer
Brian Hoyer is a veteran quarterback who has primarily been a backup with multiple NFL teams. He entered the league undrafted in 2009 and signed with the New England Patriots, backing up Tom Brady and earning a Super Bowl ring with the team in Super Bowl XLIX.
Hoyer has also started for several teams, including the Cleveland Browns (his lone 3000+ Yard Passing Season was there), Houston Texans, Chicago Bears, and San Francisco 49ers, with career passing stats including over 10,000 yards, 53 touchdowns, and a passer rating in the mid-80s.
Carlos Hyde
Carlos Hyde was drafted in the second round of the 2014 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers. He played for the 49ers from 2014 to 2017 before joining a series of other teams. Over his career, he played for the Browns, Jaguars, Texans, Seahawks, and Chiefs.
Hyde’s career has been that of a journeyman running back, moving from team to team but generally offering reliable production when given the opportunity. While with the 49ers, he rushed for almost 1,000 yards in the 2016 season.
A few years later with the Houston Texans in 2019, he surpassed 1,000 rushing yards for the first time in his career, finishing the season with 1,070 yards and six touchdowns.
