The Houston Texans may not have the superstars they did two years ago, but they still have players on the roster that serve as shining examples of consistent play and determined work ethic.
Ben McDaniels was the assistant receivers coach in 2021 as part of new coach David Culley’s staff. Over the course of the year, working with receivers coach Robert Prince, McDaniels was able to know Brandin Cooks and discover how exemplary the former 2014 first-round pick truly is.
“Cookie is a special guy,” McDaniels said. “He’s a great pro. He’s a special person. He’s a leader in the receiver room. He’s a leader in our locker room. He’s a leader currently for the receiver room, a pretty young room, and really I would say, for all our young players, he really represents someone that they should watch and learn from.”
