HOUSTON -- As the Houston Texans discussed what they’d do with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, general manager Nick Caserio said there was “definitely a consensus organizationally” of using that pick on cornerback Derek Stingley Jr.
Caserio joked that “all coaches lobby for their respective positions,” but new coach and former defensive coordinator Lovie Smith had to be thrilled to add a shutdown corner to his defense.
Caserio said Stingley “fits the profile of what we’re trying to do defensively” and how the Texans are “building the program.”
“He’s been a productive player,” Caserio said.
