When the Houston Texans selected Kentucky Wildcats cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. in the second round of the 2019 NFL Draft, they made a clear statement to the rest of the cornerback roster that things need to improve, or things will be changing.
In their most recent depth chart of the Houston Texans, OurLads.com has Johnson as the top reserve cornerback to veteran cornerback Aaron Colvin, whom the Texans signed as a free agent last year. Colvin didn’t pan out in his first year with the Texans — he played four previous seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars — so improvement to the cornerback position is key for the Texans to get back to the playoffs and actually win in 2019.
