Houston Texans Rookies Bring Halloween Spirit to Texas Children’s

October 31, 2025

Texas Children’s patients got a Halloween treat to remember when members of the Houston Texans rookie class stopped by for an afternoon filled with games, crafts and fun in the Zone and West Tower library. 

Players joined patients for activities, including arts and crafts, bingo on ZTV, reading sessions, foosball and air hockey while handing out Houston Texans–themed giveaways and posing for plenty of photo ops. The event was filled with laughter and smiles as players and patients enjoyed a chance to share some Halloween fun together. 

Many patients proudly wore costumes ranging from superheroes to TV-show favorites and came ready for Halloween fun. The rookies joined them for pumpkin decorating, sweet treats and festive games.

Among the visitors was wide receiver Jayden Higgins, the Texans’ top 2025 draft pick, who’s already making an impact on the field with two touchdown catches in seven games. His visit, along with the 15 other rookies, certainly made a lasting impact on our patients.
