With the NFL Draft just two weeks away, all signs point to either Alabama’s Bryce Young or Ohio State’s C.J. Stroud being the No. 1 overall pick.
NFL executives and scouts are giving a slight edge to Young to get selected No. 1, but that has not stopped the youngster from meeting with the next team behind the Carolina Panthers.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the Alabama product met with the Houston Texans on Wednesday, a day after meeting with the Panthers. Another NFL insider thinks this is all for nothing.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter says that the Texans having a visit with Young is just a waste of time, since he’ll be selected by the Panthers.
The fact that Young is still meeting with Houston likely means there was no promise given from Carolina on Tuesday.
It’s looking increasingly like Houston will have its choice of Stroud, Anthony Richardson, and Will Levis as the Texans look for their franchise quarterback under new coach DeMeco Ryans.
