Texans defensive end Mario Williams and receiver André Davis won awards on Thursday.
Williams, who registered 14 sacks, was voted NFL defensive lineman of the year by the NFL Alumni Association.
Davis, who returned three kickoffs for touchdowns in December, was voted AFC special teams player of the month.
Williams will receive his award at the annual NFL alumni banquet two days before the Super Bowl.
Williams is the third Texans player to be honored by the NFL alumni. Jerome Mathis made the team as a kickoff returner in 2005. In 2006, Andre Johnson was voted best receiver after leading the league with 103 catches.
Davis, who will become an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 29 if the Texans can’t sign him to a new contract, was the second Texans player to win a player-of-the-month award. Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye was voted defensive rookie of the month for September.
