Texans Head Coach DeMeco Ryans addressed various topics during his media session at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis. Here’s a quick recap:
Top 2023 Draft Class: The Texans had a stellar 2023 Draft class, with quarterback C.J. Stroud and defensive end Will Anderson Jr. winning Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year, respectively. Ryans acknowledged the challenge of surpassing that success but emphasized the importance of adding players who fit the team culture and possess the right mindset.
Free Agent Considerations: Ryans discussed several impending free agents, including Devin “Motor” Singletary, Jonathan Greenard, and Dalton Schultz. While he spoke positively about each player, he remained noncommittal about their return, noting the advantage of familiarity with current players over potentially unknown acquisitions from other teams.
Christian Harris’ Potential: Linebacker Christian Harris, entering his third NFL season in 2024, impressed with 101 tackles and notable performances in crucial games. Ryans expressed confidence in Harris’s potential, describing him as fast, explosive, and instinctive, with plenty of room for growth after what Ryans sees as essentially his rookie year.
