Seemingly, all the Houston Texans news this offseason has swirled around wide receivers. The trade for Brandin Cooks followed the bombshell trade of DeAndre Hopkins, and the Randall Cobb signing.
Hopkins was the second greatest receiver in Texans’ history, behind Andre Johnson. The trades with the Cardinals, then Rams, essentially swapped him for Cooks. Considering Hopkins’ track record of production for the Texans, this may have seemed a bit crazy.
Don’t forget one key fact. Brandin Cooks is an explosive receiver. He ranks 16th in the league among active players in yards per reception 14.
