About this episode

The episode discusses Dylan Horton's potential impact as an edge rusher for the Houston Texans and the implications for the team's roster.

The Houston Texans may have a major question to answer at edge rusher… and Dylan Horton could be the key. 👀 With Derek Barnett still a free agent, this could finally be Horton’s leap-year moment after a slow but steady build over his first three NFL seasons. The games played increased. The tackles increased. The pressures increased. Now comes the real test: can Horton become impactful with MORE snaps in DeMeco Ryans’ defense? If Horton delivers against the run AND takes the next step as a pass rusher, Houston may already have the perfect in-house depth replacement. But if the impact isn’t there by the middle of Texans training camp, don’t be surprised if Nick Caserio starts looking for a veteran edge rusher. PLUS: 🔥 Would YOU bring Stefon Diggs back to Houston Texans? 🔥 Early look at the loaded 2027 WR Draft Class 🔥 Texans Rookie Mini Camp officially begins today (May 7) 🔥 Why Marlin Klein, Noah Whittington, and the rookie skill players are WAY more interesting than the rookie linemen Locked On Texans talks Texans football daily with straight-up analysis, Houston Texans news, NFL reactions, Texans roster battles, rookie camp updates, CJ Stroud discussion, DeMeco Ryans…
