The Houston Texans are one of the league’s most promising teams, as they are just a few pieces away from becoming a legitimate contender. While they may not be the flashiest on the field, offensive lineman are faced with one of, if not the most difficult tasks, protecting their quarterback. Rankin is a reliable starter from day one, filling the Texans’ biggest void. He is scrappy with a work ethic, ultimately able to move the pocket and block at the second level.
Rankin’s raw ability is rare and may just put Houston over the top. Prior to his season-ending injury, Watson showed out and put the football world on notice.
