The talented Pittsburgh Steelers, who are based in southeast Texas, take on the Houston Texans.

The Houston Texans will play the gifted Pittsburgh Steelers, who are headquartered in southeast Texas.

Hunter agreed to a two-year, $49 million free agency contract to play at NRG Stadium, which is just 29 miles away from Morton Ranch High School in Katy.

Adding homegrown talent to their squad is something the Texans have done before. Jalen Pitre of Stafford High School and Case Keenum and Tank Dell of the Houston Cougars are two of the few athletes who are staying home to develop their skills.

ABC13 looked at the Steelers’ roster to see if there were any homegrown players. Since Texas is the football mecca, there’s a good probability that Lone Star players will play outside of their home state.

By the looks of things, Pittsburgh head coach Mike Tomlin loves the Golden Triangle – the Beaumont-Port Arthur-Orange area east of Houston – and southeast Texas at-large.

From ‘Golden’ to black and yellow

Four Steelers – three on defense and one on offense – call far southeast Texas home.

Grayland Arnold and Kalon Barnes are two defensive backs who not only hail from the Triangle. They also were Baylor Bears.

Arnold, No. 35, is from Beaumont but attended Kountze High School. He also holds history with the Texans, playing in 20 games from 2021 to 2023.

Barnes, No. 31, who’s nicknamed “Boogie,” matriculated at Silsbee High School.
