![]() ![]() ![]() The Texans aren't exactly a Super Bowl contender, but they made some nice progress this offseason. But who will he throw to outside of Michael Pittman Jr.? Can the line hold up? Will the defense be as stout without veteran corner Stephon Gilmore (dealt to the Cowboys)? So many questions, and very few obvious answers. If Anthony Richardson plays great, Indianapolis will obviously be far more interesting. ![]() Still, we’re talking about an interior offensive lineman, running back, off-ball linebacker and a defensive tackle. DeForest Buckner would be the other candidate, having made the Pro Bowl twice in his career (once with the Colts). Running back Jonathan Taylor is phenomenal, but he was limited to 11 games and struggled behind a horrid offensive line in 2022. Linebacker Shaquille Leonard is an All-Pro talent when healthy, but he played three games last year while dealing with a back injury. The list begins and ends with Quenton Nelson. Why? Name one player you would reliably say is going to the Pro Bowl. However, the Colts get the bottom spot on the list. Finally, each has a first-time, first-year coach. ![]() Both are in a complete rebuild, and each has a rookie quarterback taken in the top four picks of April’s draft. This was a tough call between the Colts and Texans. ![]()
