HOUSTON —
“It was just special to see the smiles on their faces because we know this city was impacted drastically," Kirksey said in a television interview. “Being a leader and not just being a football player but being somebody that can be an extra shoulder to lean on, it definitely warmed something in my heart... we’re just going to be here with the city and let them know that we support them in every way and we’re going to be here for them.
During the visit, the Texans also announced that they were joining with grocery store chain H-E-B to pay for the high school team to travel to the opener and take in the NFL game from a suite.
