Houston Texans: 2016 breakout candidate wide receiver Jaelen Strong

During the 2015 NFL Draft the Houston Texans decided to make a move up for a talented wide receiver out of Arizona State, Jaelen Strong. In order to make the move from their 82nd pick up to number 70, the team gave up their fifth and seventh-round picks as well as veteran receiver DeVier Posey.

The move looked to be solid as the Texans got a receiver in the third-round who was believed to be a late-first-to-early-second round talent at one point according to some scouts.

That didn’t prove to be the case his rookie season as Strong bought too much into his own pre-draft hype and showed up to camp overweight and out of shape.
