The Houston Texans have struggled with injuries at wide receiver in consecutive seasons.
They have a very talented wide receiver corps, but they must stay healthy.
They also lost Stefon Diggs after just half a season, so they might be in the hunt for a replacement.
That’s why it’s not much of a surprise to see that they hosted Ohio State standout Emeka Egbuka for a Zoom meeting.

Per NFL insider Aaron Wilson, he also met with the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.
Egbuka projects to be the next player in a long list of Buckeyes star wide receivers in the NFL.
With his steady hands and sharp route running, he played a crucial role for the national champions.
He hauled in 81 receptions for 1,011 yards and 10 touchdowns, and he left campus as the program’s all-time leader in receptions.
Also, he’s pretty familiar with Texans QB C.J. Stroud, who was his quarterback in college just two years ago, making him an even more obvious pick for DeMeco Ryans’ team.
Tank Dell will most likely miss the whole season with a knee injury, and Egbuka could slide into a big role right out of the gate.
Standing at 6-foot-1 and 202 pounds, he’s drawn comparisons to Detroit Lions star WR Amon-Ra St. Brown, and while those are some big shoes to fill, the resemblance is uncanny.
C.J. Stroud will look to bounce back after some apparent regression in his second season, and getting a familiar face in the locker room could certainly help with that.
