The Houston Texans are doing their due diligence by meeting virtually with the University of Houston offensive tackle and Richmond George Bush High School alumnus, Josh Jones.
Easily one of the most impressive offensive linemen in the draft, Jones is a big and powerful force. At 6-5, 319 pounds, he cuts an imposing figure, but despite his size, he shows impressive speed the first few yards, and his ability to move defensive lineman around seemingly easily catches the eye.

Named second-team All-American Athletic Conference his senior year, Jones is a three-year starter on the blindside who looks natural in the position. He should have few issues transitioning to the NFL and could be a starter his rookie year.
Given that Bill O’Brien’s side has already invested heavily in the offensive line this past year with Laremy Tunsil, Tytus Howard, and Max Scharping all joining the side in 2019 it seems unlikely they will invest the draft capital necessary to acquire Jones. However, being prepared for a potential drop on the day is a smart move.
