Houston Texans HC DeMeco Ryans comments on rookies acclimating around veterans

The Houston Texans have a well-balanced roster across the board. They have a great mix of veterans and young talent on their roster, which generally breeds success as long as both teams mix well when it comes to integrating on and off the field.

Young players like CJ Stroud, Tank Dell, Nico Collins, Dameon Pierce, Will Anderson Jr. and Derek Stingley Jr. are the catalysts for what the Texans have been able to accomplish in their rebuild from culture success to actual wins. These young players are a complex part of what’s happening in H-Town and after this offseason, Houston has now paired its young talent with veteran playmakers.

The Texans continued to add to their youth in the 2024 NFL Draft, and while speaking to the media, head coach DeMeco Ryans commented on how this rookie class is stacking up among the veterans.

“Our rookies came in and did a good job. A lot of guys, they had a lot of work to catch up, right? But they put in the work and the guys are showing up. Cade (Stover) , Kamari (Lassiter), Blake (Fisher), they’re all doing really well adapting to the way we do things, and they’re showing up and playing too, so I can’t wait to see what they do during the break, during the summer vacation, and how they prepare to come back, ready to make an effort.

It is very important that recruits hold themselves accountable for the success of the team. It seems like so far, Houston’s rookies are doing exactly what they need to do to acclimate to their environment and structure among guys who have been in the league for a while. For the Texans to be successful, it will take a team effort and that includes the newcomers in Houston.
