The Houston Texans could sensationally not select a quarterback with the second overall pick in the upcoming 2023 NFL Draft as another star player has caught the eye of the franchise.
Last month’s NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis saw a strong showing from the quarterback class with Alabama’s Bryce Young, Kentucky’s Will Levis, Florida’s Anthony Richardson and CJ Stroud of Ohio State all receiving rave reviews either from the workouts or interview process. The Carolina Panthers certainly saw enough to make a move, completing a blockbuster trade with the Chicago Bears to move up to the first overall pick.
However, the Texans are in prime position to select one of the top stars in Young or Stroud. Houston have been looking to address the quarterback position since Deshaun Watson sat out the 2021 season due to his off-field conduct before the franchise dealt him to the Cleveland Browns.
