HOUSTON -- Not long after the Houston Texans traded up in the third round of last month’s draft, the team posted a video on Twitter of coach Lovie Smith and general manager Nick Caserio hugging after a pick.
The selection? Houston had traded up five spots to draft Alabama linebacker Christian Harris, sending picks Nos. 80 and 162 to the Denver Broncos for pick No. 75.
“I don't think anybody was more ecstatic than Lovie about that pick,” Caserio said that night.
During rookie minicamp Friday, Smith joked that he needed to watch what he said and did when the cameras were rolling.
