LAS VEGAS — Derek Stingley Jr., yet another outstanding defensive back from LSU, has been selected third overall by the Houston Texans.
The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Stingley, who excels in man coverage, was an All-American as a freshman, but injuries, including to his foot in 2021, led to lesser numbers last season.
Still, the grandson of former Patriots receiver Darryl Stingley, who was paralyzed in a 1978 preseason game, has been a coveted cornerback throughout this draft process.
And the Texans need help everywhere.
