CB. Michigan. Jourdan Lewis. 24. player. 10.

The Houston Texans play in the same division as Andrew Luck, Blake Bortles and Marcus Mariota. That’s a pretty good sign that the team should consistently be picking up defensive players in every NFL draft.

While the Texans already have Kareem Jackson and Johnathan Joseph at cornerback, they could use a designated nickel corner with the speed to keep up with slot receivers. Michigan’s Jourdan Lewis fits that description.

At just 5’10” and 170 pounds, Lewis isn’t going to be an outside cornerback at the next level. However, he is so quick and surprisingly aggressive that he’d have no trouble transitioning into the slot in the NFL. That’s something that should make the Texans take a long look at the Michigan defensive back.
