Houston Texans Cornerback Revealed as Team\u2019s \u2018Most Promising Building Block\u2019<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The future of the Houston Texans may not run through quarterback C.J. Stroud, but rather one of their young defensive stars. <\/p>\n

In a recent Bleacher Report article, NFL writer Moe Moton suggested that the team’s ‘most promising building block entering 2025<\/a>‘ was second year cornerback Kamari Lassiter.<\/p>\n

“In the Houston Texans’ cornerback room, All-Pro Derek Stingley Jr. is the star, and Kamari Lassiter is the budding building block. They’re arguably the league’s best boundary duo<\/a>.” Moton wrote.<\/p>\n

Before being selected 42nd overall by the Texans in the 2024 NFL Draft, Lassiter was a standout at the University of Georgia. He appeared in 44 games for the Bulldogs over three seasons (2021-’23), registering 86 tackles (60 solo), 15 pass breakups and one interception.<\/p>\n

In his first year with the Texans, Lassiter excelled, recording 58 tackles (42 solo), three interceptions and 12 pass breakups. Expectations will be high for the cornerback in his second-year.<\/p>\n

“Lining up opposite Stingley in the secondary, Lassiter could see more targets in the upcoming year, which may result in an increased number of takeaways.” Moton suggested. <\/p>\n

“Though it’s too early to consider Lassiter a ball hawk, he’s shown the ability to become one in coverage. The 6’0”, 180-pound cover man is also consistent, allowing<\/a> a 64 passer rating and a 43.8 percent completion rate in coverage.”<\/p>\n

“Performing at that level, Lassiter could follow in Stingley’s footsteps, earning a market-setting extension after three seasons of quality play.” he concluded.<\/p>\n
