Dylan Horton’s BIG Chance in Houston | Texans Need a Leap Year Breakout + Ealy Look at 27 Wr Class?

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…
