Derek Stingley Jr. is optimistic about the Houston Texans' secondary, predicting they will lead the league in interceptions. Last season, the team secured the second-most interceptions in the league. The Texans added safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson, who had six interceptions last season, enhancing their defensive capabilities. Additionally, Stingley and other players, including Kamari Lassiter and Calen Bullock, contributed significantly to last season's success. Coach DeMeco Ryans recognizes Gardner-Johnson's impact, referring to him as a foundational piece of the team's strategy going forward.
"Going based off of last year, plus the guys we got now, we should lead in interceptions probably by at least about 10 to 15," Stingley told ESPN. "I mean, we know we can get the ball. We just got to keep going to get the ball."
The addition of Gardner-Johnson, who had six interceptions (tied for third most) last season, should elevate the unit. Even with his history, Ryans won't place high expectations on his new safety, but he understands the values that the former Super Bowl champ brings.
C.J. is just, he's one piece. He's a foundational piece to what we're doing," Ryans.
