Texas A&M offensive lineman Kenyon Green takes a moment before an game against Alabama on Oct. 9, 2021, in College Station. Green was a first-round pick of the Houston Texans.COLLEGE STATION — Kenyon Green’s huge hands helped Texas A&M land itsHis hands raised thousands of hearty meals to his mouth over the past few years. They grabbed thousands of pounds of weights in A&M’s Davis Players Development Center.
“You have a physical guy who’s 6-foot-4 and 325 pounds and he can play guard or tackle because he has an 83-inch wingspan,” Fisher said of Green. “That is like most tackles — guys who are 6-foot-6 or 6-foot-7. A lot of guys can block you, but he can move the big guys and he’s athletic enough to block the skill guys. That’s a rare combination.
Texas A&M offensive lineman Kenyon Green — a first-round draft pick of the Texans — answers a question during a news conference Friday, April 29, 2022, in Houston.The ever-gracious Green was a key addition to Fisher’s early recruiting hauls because he helped get the Houston pipeline to College Station consistently flowing — one that has now resulted in the program’s first first-round selection since defensive end Myles Garrett of Arlington in 2017.
“He started from the day he got here,” Fisher said of Green, who should do likewise with the Texans. “He’s very talented, but even as gifted as he is that’s the least thing . It’s his character, his intelligence, his work ethic, all the intangibles. I always tell our players let the intangibles — the choices you make about who you are — be what you live on and let your talent be the last thing you rely on.

That assumes the U.S. Supreme Court overturns Roe, whether wholly, as the Alito draft would have it, or partially, in a compromise.
