However, a quick glance at a list of top undrafted players in NFL history brings us names like Wes Welker, Priest Holmes, Nate Newton, James Harrison, Kurt Warner and http://www.thetexanslockerroom.com/authentic-martinas-rankin-jersey , of course, Arian Foster. While there’s no guarantee this years crop of Undrafted Free Agents (UDFAs) is going to provide Houston with a future Hall of Famer, there are a few who might not only make the roster but contribute in a very positive manner. Signing undrafted rookies also lets a team quickly address areas of need that weren’t glaring enough to warrant early round draft picks, or in some cases any draft picks. For the Texans, those areas are the running back corps, wide receivers and interior defensive line. Thankfully, the Texans addressed all three spots with UDFAs. Let’s face it Keke Coutee Jersey , the Texans essentially did nothing to improve their running back corps, unless that is, you’re one of those people who think getting rid of Alfred Blue immediately upgraded the team. Cue Missouri back Damarea Crockett and Michigan Wolverine back Karan Higdon.Running Back: Damarea CrockettNFL Draft NetworkRunning Back: Karan HigdonNFL Draft TrackerSean PendergastNext up we have a pair of wide receivers who could find the field faster than they run the 40-yard dash. With DeAndre Hopkins a lock at WR1, but Will Fuller and Keke Coutee almost assured to miss time with injuries, there are a lot of question marks on the depth chart after D-Hop. While Vyncint Smith and DeAndre Carter should have a shot at the WR2 or WR3 slot depending on which combo of Fuller/Coutee is off the injury report on any given week, Oklahoma State’s Tyron Johnson and Ohio State’s Johnnie Dixon could both see the field early and often if they learn, adapt and excel quickly enough. Cowboys Ride For FreeTexans Sports NationWhile Houston has the edge set Kendall Lamm Jersey White , for sure, with players like J.J. Watt, Jadeveon Clowney, Whitney Mercilus and Duke Ejiofor, the interior defensive line could stand an upgrade or two. What does Houston tend to do when in need of a defensive lineman? Turn to the Clemson Tigers (or Houston Texans East, as they may as well be known these days...) Richard Johnson broke down Huggins game very well over at the SBNation main site.In addition, Sean Pendergast had this to say about him:What do you think? Any of these UDFAs get your blood flowing? Think one (or more) of them is going to crack the final 53 in a big way? Expect them all to bust? Convinced a player I didn’t mention is the cream of the UDFA crop?
