Texans Talk to Plenty of Beef and Interesting Linebackers at the NFL Combine
The defensive tackles were large and the linebackers intriguing
The Houston Texans talked to numerous players at defensive tackle, defensive end, and linebacker at the NFL Scouting Combine. The Texans could use depth and eventual starters at all those positions this offseason. Here is a breakdown of the first day of media interviews at the combine.
Lee Hunter (DT, Texas Tech) was the podium star. He’s a huge human and showcased his huge personality. He moved from topic to topic with ease and a beaming smile. Hunter proclaimed he is still a wall at defensive tackle. He explained he can’t tell his daughter “no” when she asks for something. Hunter proclaimed one of the best ways to get better in college was to watch the “(expletive) tape” Sunday through Friday. He will be a terror for teams in the running game, but there needs to be some faith that he can rush the passer at some point. He’s a decent pick at 28 and a potential steal at 38 for the Texans. He told Landry Locker he had a formal meeting with the Texans.
