Versatility and depth at defensive positions, combined with physicality, are constant traits for the Houston Texans. The USC Trojans gave the Texans even more of those qualities with their selection of Kamari Ramsey, who will see time as a rookie.
In a recent feature, Cole Thompson highlights what Kamari Ramsey will bring to the Houston Texans' defense. Here is what he had to say about the USC Trojan:
"Some scouts have compared the rangy defender to longtime Tennessee Titans All-Pro Kevin Byard, though his tackling is more refined. His willingness to play anywhere on the defense creates value, as he can line up and play deep or move in the box to take on a slot receiver.
On Houston's depth chart, expect him to begin seeing reps at strong safety behind newly-added veteran Reed Blakenship while rotating in with Jaylen Reed as a big nickel defender. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, Ramsey was the highest-rated player left on the board by the NGS overall score.
He’s one of four safeties in this class with 75-plus NGS production and athleticism scores, joining Caleb Downs, Dillon Thieneman and A.J. Haulcy."
Kamari Ramsey has the ball skills that provide upside. He can become a turnover machine like his comparison in the article, Kevin Byard. He also has that toughness and physicality that will make him yet another Texans defender who loves to hit. Demeco Ryans will love the versatility that Ramsey will bring, and he will be a player that Ryans will try everything to find a place for on the field.
