Tasked with stepping into the spot once held by All-Pro left tackle Laremy Tunsil, rookie Aireontae Ersery's performance in Week 5 showcased a potential piece for the now, and future in Houston.
At 6-foot-6 and 330 pounds, the Minnesota product combines rare size with light, reactive feet.
His lower-body flexibility allows him to reset and recover without losing balance, and his ability to mirror rushers -- syncing his eyes, feet, and hands -- made him one of the most technically sound prospects in the class last year.
His best work of the young campaign so far came in Week 5 against the Ravens, a defense notorious for confusing young tackles with pressure looks and post-snap movement.
