Give it time, but the Houston Texans' selection of Minnesota offensive tackle Aireontae Ersery might prove to be one of the biggest steals of the 2025 NFL Draft.
A third-team Associated Press All-American and Big Ten Offensive Lineman of the Year, Ersery impressed on the blindside for the Golden Gophers. A three-year starter at left tackle, the Kansas City native only allowed just five sacks and 11 QB hits in over 1,400 pass-blocking snaps in Big Ten games.
Entering rookie minicamp on Friday, no one on the offensive line can say they'll be a Day 1 starter.
