The Texans will honor TORO with a 2021 NFL Mascot of the Year patch on his jersey throughout the entire season, as well as a celebration during the Kids Day game against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, October 31, 2021.

TORO has been the official mascot of the Houston Texans since April 23, 2001, and this season marks his 20th season with the franchise. He is well renowned for his high-flying feats, amusing antics, and ability to generate the Home Field Advantage during Texans home games at NRG Stadium.
