Houston Texans rookie cornerback Kamari Lassiter intercepted a pair of passes against the Detroit Lions in one of the best games of his young NFL career. Lassiter, who is a former Georgia Bulldog, was a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Lassiter now has 29 tackles and three interceptions in his impressive rookie campaign. However, he left the Lions’ game with a concussion and was unable to return. Lassiter will have to pass concussion protocol before he can return to action.
Lassiter’s injury helped spark some life in Detroit’s offense. The Lions completed a dramatic 16-point comeback to win 26-23.
Detroit scored 13 fourth quarter points partially because Lassiter was not out their on the Texans’ defense. Houston intercepted Detroit quarterback Jared Goff five times, but it was not enough.
Here’s a look at Lassiter’s second interception against Detroit.
Lassiter joins former Georgia Bulldogs Brock Bowers and Ladd McConkey in the NFL rookie of the year conversation with Bowers being the most likely choice of the trio.
