Texans Rookies Non-Existent in First Game of 2019 Season

Did you notice something missing from Monday night’s game in New Orleans?

The 2019 rookie draft class maybe?

Well, if you didn't notice, only two rookies took the field against New Orleans, and they were second round CB Lonnie Johnson and seventh round fullback Cullen Gillaspia. On top of that, neither player actually recorded a single snap on offense or defense. They only played on special teams.

Here’s a quick breakdown the Texans 2019 draft class’ “performance” Week One of the season.

  • Lonnie Johnson - active; played 13 snaps on special teams.
