One Cyclone is nice. Two can cause a natural disaster.
After trading down nine spots and out of the first round Thursday night, the Houston Texans finally bolstered their passing attack by selecting Iowa State wide receiver Jayden Higgins with the 34th overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.
Midway through the third round, his counterpart from Ames remained on the board, so general manager Nick Caserio ensured that Houston grabbed fellow Iowa State star Jaylin Noel.
Noel is an explosive athlete who makes up for his overall route-running skills with strength after contact and solid hands.
