The Houston Texans knew what they were getting when they drafted former LSU cornerback Derek Stingley No. 3 overall in the 2022 NFL draft.
The 6-0, 195-pound defensive back is coming off a Lisfranc injury that limited him to three games in 2021, but the Texans still took Stingley with their eyes wide open.
“Really he played three or four games there with a foot and he wasn’t really healthy,” general manager Nick Caserio told “Payne & Pendergast” on Sports Radio 610 [KILT-AM] Monday. “So, kind of speaks to his competitiveness and his toughness. And then he was able to get out there in the spring and show that he’s at least making some progress. I’d say he’s got some work to do in terms of being ready to go for camp.”
