Houston Texans Head Coach DeMeco Ryans is photographed at rookie camp Friday, May 12, 2023, at NRG in Houston.The Texans began the start of their offseason program last month. And their three-day rookie minicamp began on Friday. It was the first opportunity for rookies to take the field and learn what it takes to be an NFL player.
“Simple things for these guys is getting in the huddle, saying a play call, coming out of the huddle,” Ryans said. “It’s the simple things that they have to get used to that’s different from the college game where a lot of things are coming from the sideline, a lot of pictures, signal-based things, and they’re not used to verbalizing and communicating a lot.
Ryans said Anderson will play with his hand in the dirt from a three-point stance as an edge rusher. At Alabama, he rushed standing up. Ryans said it won’t be a huge adjustment for the 6-foot-4, 254-pounder. “If I see a point or two I need to, you know implement, I’ll step in,” he said. “But our assistants, it’s awesome for me to get out and see them work, the energy that they bring to practice. Our coaches have done an outstanding job.”To’oTo’o, who is 6-foot-2, 228 pounds, plays inside linebacker and adds depth at the position. The Texans also added inside linebackers Denzel Perryman, Jermaine Carter and Cory Littleton to pair with Christian Kirksey.
