Texans Could Add To Their Secondary

Texans Could Add To Their Secondary

9 months ago

The Houston Texans exceeded everyone's expectations in 2023 when they went 10-7 to win the AFC South and win a playoff game under first-year head coach DeMeco Ryans and with rookie first-round quarterback C.J. Stroud. Ryans' defense has room for improvement, though, as they ranked 22nd in the league against the pass, giving up 234.1 yards per game while managing only 14 interceptions all year long. Second-year cornerback Derek Stingley Jr. led the team with five interceptions, but fellow cornerback Steven Nelson, who had four picks, is scheduled to become a free agent in March, as is slot cornerback Tavierre Thomas. If the Texans are going to repeat as AFC South champions in 2024, they are going to need to shore up the cornerback position, either through free agency or the draft.
