Jaylin Noel averaged just 11.0 routes per game last season. Even though primary slot Christian Kirk was brutally inefficient and often banged up.

Still not sure why Noel didn't play more as a rookie. But clean path to him being primary slot this season, especially if Tank Dell hits a snag in his comeback.

Jalen Pitre on Will Anderson Jr. "wrecking" the #Texans' OTAs practice:

🗣️"Will is Will. He's gonna wreck practices, wreck games, wreck meetings, wreck everything."

"That's why he's the best... That's just Will. You can't really slow him down."
