Greenard headed to Houston, drafted in third round

It may have come later than some expected, but former Florida defensive end Jonathan Greenard finally heard his name called when he was selected by the Houston Texans with the 90th pick in the third round of the NFL Draft.

His selection came after that of his teammate and counterpart on the defensive line Jabari Zuniga, who, despite an injury-plagued 2019 season, was selected by the New York Jets with the 79th pick.

Greenard is a bit of a low-ceiling, high-floor player. He lacks the elite first step that gets players drafted on Day 1, but he does possess strong snap anticipation skills.
