Vandermeer's View: Young Texans take over

Related Topics: Jonathan Grimes

Introducing the young Texans. Now that the 53 has been set (for the moment, anyway. A roster is written in pencil, not ink) we see that the youth movement is alive and well at the skill positions.

This is the youngest wide receiver crew, the youngest tight end group and, if weren’t for ‘old man’ Jonathan Grimes (26, ha!) this would be the youngest running back squad they’ve ever had.

With the departure of Cecil Shorts III, DeAndre Hopkins, entering year four, becomes the longest tenured veteran of the group. And why not?
