The Houston Texans are in play to take a cornerback in the 2022 NFL draft, and the fact the club has two Round 1 picks to play with at Nos. 3 and 13 overall makes the selection even more likely.
Going back to the 2020 season, the Texans were linked to LSU cornerback Derek Stingley in mock drafts. However, other position needs rose above cornerback, as did the emergence of Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad Gardner.
However, if the Texans were to take Stingley, it could be because he reminds general manager Nick Caserio of an All-Pro he had while the director of player personnel with the New England Patriots.
