Texans rookie left offensive guard Kenyon Green is slated to make his NFL starting debut against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, according to league sources.
The first-round draft pick from Texas A&M, former consensus All-American and All-Southeastern Conference selection played 38 snaps a week ago in a 20-20 tie against the Indianapolis Colts, appearing in 54 percent of the offensive plays. Justin McCray, who started the opening game at left guard, played 32 snaps for 46 percent of the total offensive plays.
“I’m getting better and better each week,” Green said of his progress in pass protection, crediting the tutelage of offensive line coach George Warhop. “We just got to keep working.”“Big difference, people flying around,” he said. “I had to pick up the speed.” “I would say blue collar, humble, soft-spoken, lunch pail. Shows up; doesn’t say much. Just kind of works his ass off and wants to play football. That fits the profile of what we want from the players that walk in this building.”
