Houston Texans Third Round Pick Named As Player Who Could Earn Key Role in 2024
The NFL Draft features a ton of collegiate talent making its way into the league. Those who are drafted in the first round typically expect to start and play key roles on their new team. However, there are players drafted throughout rounds 2-7 who can play pivotal roles in their team's plans for the season.
The Houston Texans didn't have a first-round draft pick in 2024, but they did round out the draft strongly through the rest of the rounds. When examining the Texans' draftees,chose one of their third-round draft picks as a player who could earn a key role on the team in 2024—former USC safety Calen Bullock, who was taken 78th overall."Bullock was probably the best pure free safety in the 2024 class.
Jimmie Ward has long been a fun, reasonably reliable safety-slot cornerback. Bullock, at a unique, 6-foot-2 and 188 pounds with 4.45 speed can bring a new, faster element to that position for Houston." Interestingly, they would go with Bullock here, as second-round picks cornerback Kamari Lassiter will likely have more prominent roles within the grand scheme of things for Houston.
Either way, Bullock could push veteran Jimmie Ward for playing time or even the starting spot, as his play is steady but not at the playmaking level. Bullock, on the other hand, has shown a knack for being around the ball and creating plays from the safety position; he collected a total of 150 tackles over three seasons at USC, nine interceptions—two returned for touchdowns—and 15 passes defended.
