From listening to Houston Texans brass discuss Cade Stover, it’s clear that his character traits are the biggest selling point on why the team used its fourth-round pick to select the former Buckeye.
His toughness, first and foremost.
“He probably played hurt this year,” Houston general manager Nick Caserio said. “I think he had an MCL or had an issue (in his knee) where, quite frankly, it would have limited some other players, but he just braced it up and he just kept playing football. I don’t want to speak for (head coach) DeMeco (Ryans), but I think we feel the same way, this is probably one of our favorite football players in the entire draft, regardless of position, because of his mentality, because of his mindset.
