Houston Chronicle writer Jonathan Alexander joins Next Up to review the Houston Texans following mandatory minicamp.
The Texans drafted cornerback Kamari Lassiter in the second round out of the University of Georgia, and Lassiter is already making a name for himself within the Texans roster. Lassiter was "really showing out" with the first-team defense at minicamp, and "he looks like he's primed to be a starter," possibly at "outside corner," Alexander said.
Lassiter got reps against Stefon Diggs, who "understands his role" as a leader amongst the wide receiver group.
Alexander also addresses Blake Fisher, who the Texans selected 59th overall in the draft, and his chances of starting "if Tytus Howard isn't ready," as well as the competition at the backup quarterback position, acknowledging that the Texans are "taking a gamble that C.J. [Stroud] is going to remain healthy."
