Texans: Derek Stingley Jr.

At the 1.3 pick, Stingley is still a bust.....until he isn't. Will that be this year? Ever? Stay tuned.
 
Been hearing and seeing (2 or 3 photos) that while recovering from his injury, Stingley has put on around 10-15lbs of muscle. And has not lost any speed or agility. Trying to find a good before (last year at this time) and after (this year). Sadly, so far typical searches are pulling up last season only now. The picture I saw of this year, you are clearly able to see he looks bigger in the arms and legs. Hard to tell anything past that with jerseys and stuff on. Anyone else hear or have comparison pictures please post them.

Houston needs Stingley to be an NFL ALL PRO CB. That's why he was the #3 pick. Hopefully he will remain healthy and we a GREAT corner in 23'.

While all of that is true, it doesn't change the fact that he hasn't had a fully healthy season since 2019. I don't think that's a gamble you take with the 3rd overall pick. Sure, it all goes away IF he's healthy and becomes an All Pro, or even Pro Bowl, but right on cue he's already missed 8 games of his rookie season. Of the last 40 games teams he's been on have played (LSU & Texans) he's missed 21 of those games. You've got to be great at staying on the field before you can be great at anything else.

Agreed. Let's hope Derek can remain healthy and be a really good CB.
 
Stingley makes Bucky Brooks All Breakout Team.

CB
Derek Stingley Jr.
Houston Texans · Age 21
Lost in the Texans' disappointing 2022 season: The impressive flashes delivered by the No. 3 overall pick. Yes, Sauce Gardner -- the cornerback who came off the board at No. 4 overall -- received Defensive Rookie of the Year honors, and rightfully so. Gardner was immediately one of the best corners in the NFL, while Stingley suffered the typical ebbs and flows of a rookie campaign, ultimately missing the final eight weeks of the season with a lingering hamstring injury. But in his nine-game debut, the silky smooth corner displayed the athleticism, agility and instincts to blanket receivers in man or zone coverage. With new head coach DeMeco Ryans installing a versatile scheme that enables corners to dig a little deeper into the toolbox, Stingley has a chance to show off his skills as a lockdown cover man with a polished game.

Heard a report that Stingley bulked up from 190 to around 205 to 210 with no loss of speed or movement. That will help him put some good hits on some stronger WRs. Have yet to hear 100% what he weighs. But just looking at pictures he is no question thicker in his lower body for certain.

I wonder if that would add more weight to that lisfranc foot or alleviate any pressure on the foot.

One would think more body weight would be more weight in the foot but would the added muscle in other areas help compensate?

From what I understand you are somewhat right. Added weight is going to put more stress on the foot. Now, CnD would know much more than me. But I think if not 100% healed it could be an issue to reinjury. I think it should be ok, you know that the medical team would have to clear him. And I am sure that he has been doing multiple tests to insure he is good to go.

September 29th will be two years since surgery, if not 100% healed, then ..

He should be 100% and he had to clear medical already. My concern is will an additional 20lbs landing on the foot cause any issues. From what I know of the injury, I would feel it could. More weight on same structure type thing. Hopefully, it won't be an issue. But I think it has already been said that a Lisfranc injury can no question cause issues later as well.

Oddly enough Dunta Robinson's best season in the NFL was his rookie season. He had 6 interceptions.

Forgot about that dude, he was great for a while.

I'm interested to know how the AI platform came up with this. I don't think quarterbacks are going to throw that much to Stingley's side. The most interceptions Darrelle Revis had in a season was 6. That was in his 3rd season. In his 4th season he had 0. He was still a 1st team All Pro that year.

Stingley Island?

Gotta prove he can stay healthy all season.
 

“Hearing the buzz coming out of Texans camp this month, I couldn't help but get even more bullish in my view that Stingley's on the verge of a full breakout campaign. And then, watching the way he performed in last week's preseason game against the New York Giants -- deftly erasing talented rookie first-rounder Malik Nabers, among others, while also hauling in a nice interception -- I needed to write this take. The stage is set for Stingley to become a household name as a lockdown artist. Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans can pick and choose how to deploy his star corner based on matchups, and I can't wait to see how it plays out.”

Sting and Sauce will be in competition again this offseason to become the highest paid CB in the league. Both should climb above $100 million in total guaranteed $$$.

This season Stingley's ability to avoid injury will be significant in negotiating early. A great season and he will get that type of deal. The foot causing him to miss more than 3-4 games may cause Nick to be reluctant and negotiate after year 4; initiating club option for year 5.

Along with his play, having a weak Corner corps with someone to take his spot is to his advantage. Extending Derek will only lessen not eliminate drafting a corner day 2.

Yes, but that goes with any player. If Sauce were to have injuries in 2024, he would lose leverage in the offseason.

I hope 3-4 games in a 17 game season doesn't cause Nick to throw out all semblance of reason.

Man I hope the cap takes a huge jump.

Diggs is likely a one year guy.
