Jalen Pitre has been one of the Houston Texans’ most impactful rookies in their failed 2022 campaign, and the league is starting to take notice. He notched his third interception of the year in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns and managed to secure 16 combined tackles in the effort.
This outsized production from the rookie safety is no surprise to the team’s safeties coach Mike Danna, though, and he told reporters on Thursday just how impressed he is with what Pitre has been able to do this season. When asked about the safety’s development, Danna was complimentary of what he had seen and emphasized the work ethic and tenacity that got Pitre to this point.
