Jalen Pitre: The Chronicles of the Never Burned

While Derek Stingley Jr., the #3 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft is getting most of the spotlight for the Houston Texans rookie class, the other defensive back joining the team had a far more impressive 2021 NCAA season.

Pitre spent his first three years at Baylor tagged as a linebacker before converting to safety in 2020. Over the next two seasons as a DB, he nailed 97 solo tackles, 29.5 tackles for loss, 6 sacks, 4 interceptions for 76 yards, 9 passes defensed and 3 fumble recoveries.

Oh, and did we mention multiple pick sixes?
