HOUSTON — New Texans coach Lovie Smith recently said the team's cornerback play last season simply wasn't good enough.
General manager Nick Caserio raved about Stingley's skills and believes playing in the Southeastern Conference will benefit him as he moves to the NFL. “I say that just because we have similar body," he said. “He’s fast, he can run with just about anybody. He can also get strong with the bigger receivers and he’s quick enough with the shifty guys. And I feel like I can do that, too."
Green earned All-America honors in 2020 and 2021 after getting freshman All-America honors in 2019. He started at both guard spots and both tackle spots in 2021. The 6-foot-4, 323-pound Green was the only player in the Bowl Subdivision to log 80 plays or more at four different offensive line positions last season and helped the Aggies average six yards a play.
Stingley is the first cornerback Houston has taken in the first round since selecting Kevin Johnson 16th in 2015.
