The Houston Texans continue their due diligence to find help along the defensive line in the 2020 NFL Draft.
According to Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle, the Texans had a virtual meeting with former Texas Tech defensive tackle Broderick Washington.
The 6-2, 305-pound interior defensive lineman had a chance to showcase his talents until the COVID-19 derailed the typical NFL offseason. The Longview High School product had was selected to the NFLPA Collegiate Bowl, was added to the Senior Bowl roster, and had an impressive showing at the NFL Scouting Combine with 23 reps, even though he partially tore his pectoral on the seventh rep.
The Texans aren’t the only team interested in the three-time honorable All-Big 12 selection. Washington has meetings setup with the Cincinnati Bengals, New Orleans Saints, Philadelphia Eagles, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Jets, Los Angeles Rams, New York Giants, Tennessee Titans, and Washington.
If the Texans were to add Washington, he would help retool a defensive tackle position that lost D.J. Reader in free agency and is counting on returning Brandon Dunn and free agent Timmy Jernigan to fill the void.
