The decline in production for the Houston Texans' offense in 2025 can largely be attributed to the team's battered receiving corps. Houston spent its first draft pick this week adding depth to a still-shaky unit.
Houston, who dealt pick No. 25 to the New York Giants in Round 1 on Thursday in exchange for three draft picks, selected Iowa State wide receiver Jayden Higgins with the No. 34 overall pick Friday evening. Higgins is the fifth wide receiver off the board in the 2025 NFL Draft after four receivers were selected in Round 1.
