The Houston Texans are known for developing talent. At least under the Nick Caserio umbrella they are.
As for the Relative Athletic Score? That’s not really been a major part of their mantra. Last draft cycle, the Texans finished 31st among RAS contenders. The year prior, they finished 29th, though did also punch their ticket to the AFC postseason and bested the Cleveland Browns, one of the better RAS evaluators under GM Andrew Berry.
The Texans still have one of the younger rosters in the NFL, headlined by C.J. Stroud, Will Anderson Jr., Derek Stingely Jr. Nico Collins, Chrisitan Harris and Tank Dell. Where do they rank among the rest of the NFL in athleticism, however? For that, we turn to Kent Lee Platte and his creation of the Relative Athletic Score that grades out a player’s athleticism on a scale of 0-to-10.
