NORCROSS, Ga. — The Houston Texans’ 2021 draft class is in an interesting position entering their second year.
Rarely does one see an NFL draft class as small as only five selections, especially on a rebuilding team. Even more rarely are all five of those players projected to start during their second year in the league. However, that’s exactly the case for this group.
Nico Collins is expected to start at boundary receiver across from Brandin Cooks, Roy Lopez at the nose tackle, Brevin Jordan at tight end, and of course Davis Mills under center. Even Garret Wallow, largely relegated to special teams last season, has been the talk of Houston’s defense this summer and is expected to make a strong push to start at the strong side linebacker position.
