First-year Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans remains one of the most productive draft picks in franchise history. Could the former Alabama linebacker turn to his alma mater to find the team's next great defensive talent?
The Texans' plans remain largely a mystery on the eve of the NFL draft, though there have been indications the team is going to target either a quarterback or edge rusher with the No. 2 overall selection. Alabama's Will Anderson Jr. is currently among the top-three betting favorites to be drafted with the second pick, and the two-time SEC Defensive Player of the Year and 2022 Chuck Bednarik Award winner seems excited about the possibility of going to Houston.
